Location Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Topics Costa Rica

Los Paisanos del Puerto (2018 - ongoing) focuses on the living narratives of the Chinese diaspora in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Through oral histories, archival photos, and portraits, they assert their stories which have been shaped violent legacies of anti-Chinese legislation and the strengthening of Mainland China's economic influence on the region today. This project highlights a largely forgotten intersection of Chinese and Latinx identity while seeking to question and redefine our definitions of both.
