How China Lives in the World
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
In one of the most expensive cities in the U.S., a form of communal housing has long provided an affordable way for Chinese immigrants to live in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Single-room occupancy (SRO) buildings offer small private rooms with shared kitchens and bathrooms. In a city where the average studio rents for around $2,700 a month, SROs remain one of the few affordable housing options for Chinese immigrants who want to stay close to their community. Lei Huang, an AI scientist who grew up in Guangzhou, pays less than $1,000 a month to live in an SRO and immerse himself in the local Chinese community. #SanFrancisco #Housing #SRO #Chinatown

New open call! 🌊 Submission Deadline: Sep 25, 2026, 11:59 PM EST Accent Sisters invites submissions for Under the Common Sea 海的下面还有海, a group exhibition exploring the diverse lives, experiences, and cultural practices of Chinese diasporic communities in the United States. The title Under the Common Sea draws from Fred Moten and Stefano Harney’s concept of the undercommons: forms of collective life, knowledge, and relation that take shape beneath or beyond the structures of institutional recognition. Here, the exhibition looks beyond familiar narratives of professional success and economic achievement and turns its attention to the many ways Chinese diasporic populations build lives, relationships, and communities through art, culture, care, education, service, organizing, and other forms of labor. We are looking for practices including but not limited to: Social / Communal Practices ( submission could take the form of video documentation, photography, etc.) Painting and drawing Photography Moving image and video Sculpture and installation Text-based work Performance This exhibit is a collaboration between Muyi Xiao of Hǎi 海 @all.time.hai a new project from Asia Society’s ChinaFile, and Amy Yuanchen Qian @amamyqqq of Accent Sisters, the exhibition brings together artwork and cultural practice which engage with Chinese and Sinophone diasporic experience in the United States, with a particular focus on New York City. We are interested in practices that rethink cross-cultural lived experience and landscapes, explore forms of cultural and communal labor, and engage with the local contexts in which diasporic communities create, sustain, and reinvent their lives. Location: Accent Sisters, 89 5th Ave #702, New York, NY 10002 Submission Fee: $25 (redeemable as a coupon for Accent workshops and books) Submission link in bio

“I want to remind people we are here. This is on our terms.” That is the spirit at the heart of @nowplacesf, a new community space in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Offering everything from workshops on visa issues to Mahjong nights, Now Place works to support AAPI artists and foster human connection. It is run by @akaa.null, a queer artist and immigrant from China. @asiasociety ‘s @all.time.hai suggested I check it out and we made this video together. Follow us for more global China stories like this and let us know what we should check out next! #fyp #chinese #aapi #sanfrancisco
