Ways of Walking Chinatown explores how visibility operates within London’s Chinatown through walking, mapping, and translation. Across three publications, a poster, and an interactive website, the project reveals the hidden systems of labour, control, and relation that construct the city’s surface.

Final work

  • A layered, diagrammatic visual system that maps Chinatown through flows of visibility, labour, and control. Bilingual grids, speculative illustrations
  • book
