Join us for the launch of <A HREF="https://vancouverchinesegarden.com/experience/events/360-riot-walk/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">360 Riot Walk</A>, an audio-visual experience developed by artist Henry Tsang. The project traces the history and route of the mob that attacked Vancouver’s Chinese Canadian and Japanese Canadian communities following a demonstration and parade organized by the city’s Asiatic Exclusion League. 
The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots are one of the most significant events in this city’s history, and reflect the socio-political environment of the time, when many communities were targeted through legislative and physical acts of exclusion and violence. Using a mix of present-day and archival photographs and documents, the tour uses 360° video technology to offer an immersive view of this important chapter in Vancouver’s complex story.
A limited number of free guided tours in English will run on August 3 & 4 and September 7 & 8, with tablets and headphones provided (see tour schedule below). Participants can register for the August 3 & 4 tours at the <A HREF="http://www.powellstreetfestival.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Powell Street Festival</A>. Registration for the September tours will open on July 27.
The video will also be made available for online streaming, allowing people to explore the story on their own outside of the scheduled tours. The full soundtrack will be accessible in English, Cantonese, Japanese, and Punjabi.
