Chinatown Arts Space website launch

The Chinatown Arts Space website has just launched, containing details and lots of photos of their current and past projects. They’re a new-ish initiative based in London, where there seems to be a movement gaining momentum, of British East Asian groups forming in creative sectors.

Sometimes, you can’t get enough of a good thing, but there is a danger that you often get the same old names and faces, popping up everywhere, saturating the market. But hopefully, exposure will bring out more talent (in whatever credible sector). I certainly think there’s room for more variety in British East Asian culture.

Keep your eyes out for Chinatown Arts Space. I foresee good things happening in time..

Chinatown Arts Space was initiated in 2003 by a group of British East Asian artists who foresaw the need to champion the development of East Asian performing and visual arts in London. Led by Yellow Earth Theatre, the UK’s flagship British East Asian company, a consortium was formed with support from Westminster City Council, Shaftesbury PLC, and London Chinese Chinatown Association.
