For much of Californian and American history, it was illegal to exist in an Asian body. Antioch, California, was one of the first towns in the U.S. to pass “sundown” laws in the 1870s, banning Chinese-Americans from conducting basic civic and community life after dark. The reasons were xenophobia. Politicians at the time warned that Chinese-Americans carried diseases and that gatherings of people with “yellow” faces were dangerous. During its sundown era, Antioch’s lawmakers believed they’d successfully confined Chinese-Americans to their residences. However, they were unaware that underneath the streets, the Chinese community was enacting a nightly resistance. They built and traveled through a system of tunnels that secretly connected the community. The tunnels were such a well-kept secret that they weren’t discovered by city leaders until the 1990s; the tunnels and its entry points currently remain under-researched and unmarked. This Way In will gather fifth-generation Chinese-Californians to co-create a series of public art installations that mark the locations of the tunnels for the first time. Chan plans to search for descendants of the tunnel builders, gather their families’ stories of resistance, and install an above-ground series of site-specific, outdoor, night-time video projections. These projections will reveal the locations, ephemera, and stories of the tunnels directly below the city streets. The project would culminate in Table for 1,000, an outdoor quarter-mile-long, traditional Chinese “ghost” ancestral feast, with chairs for both the spirits of the Antioch tunnel builders and Asian-Americans currently living in the Bay Area.
