About The Event
At dawn on April 18, 1906, the San Andreas fault ruptured, sending shockwaves racing across San Francisco. Â The City is abruptly awakened only to witness a firestorm destroying everything in sight over the next three days. Vibrant and densely populated Chinatown is swiftly engulfed by a raging fire on Day One and its inhabitants are dispersed like embers in the wind. Â With Chinatown destroyed, City politicians and power brokers decide this is an opportune time to relocate the community. Â Powered by an irrepressible resiliency the Chinese community reimagines Chinatown and builds back better.
