Barbershops were vital to Chinatown’s social fabric, always filled with laughter and conversation. The first Chinatown barbershop opened in 1891, a year before the first restaurant, providing essential services and fostering community connections for over a century.
Discover the hidden stories of Vancouver’s Chinatown and surrounding neighbourhoods through VITALITY, a unique exhibition that blends Fred Herzog’s iconic photography with compelling narratives that celebrate the enduring spirit of this historic neighborhood.
