“Friendship. Style. Montreal. Discover the hidden archive…”
Step into a side of Montreal you’ve never seen. This exhibition unveils a rarely seen archive of Chinese Canadian life from 1945 to the 1960s, sourced from the McCord Stewart Museum. Featuring the work of Chung Hong Ho, Arthur Lee, Peter Wong, Samuel Lee, and Chuck Yip—self-taught photographers who captured friendship, swagger, and everyday flair—it reveals a world where Chinese Canadians shaped the city’s sense of style and cool.
