A short video photo essay and reflection on the Chinatown in Incheon, Chinatown.
Background Info:
Incheon Chinatown is centered in a geographically advantageous location, which lead to the forced opening of Incheon, South Korea as a port city for Qing China and Meiji Japan. As a result, tensions brewing between Koreans and Chinese immigrants led to anti-Chinese sentiment. This sentiment continues today and is crucial to understanding why this Chinatown functions the way it does today.
