In Shangri-La Cafe, viagra sale Karen Tam constructs a Chinese restaurant in the Y Gallery. With this construction, Tam hopes to enlighten people by linking the Chinese restaurant to Chinese immigration and history in Canada. Tam is examining the issues and associations many have with Chinese people and how they are often linked with Chinese restaurants. The installation also includes two video works: one featuring interviews with local restaurant owners, and the other featuring her father preparing traditional hybrid dishes. The work reflects Tam’s childhood experience, similar to that of many children in the Chinese community, of growing up in a restaurant environment. This work evokes memories for many members of the Chinese community , as well as customers of these family-owned chop suey restaurants of the past are disappearing. Tam offers a sense of nostalgia, showing honour and respect for the workers who lived through difficult times in order to earn a living.
