Calgary cartoonist and author Teresa Wong is the author of the 2024 graphic memoir "All Our Ordinary Stories." Her great-grandfather came to Calgary more than a century ago—but the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923 kept the rest of his family from following. Now Wong has created a new piece of artwork specifically to be printed on The Sprawl's Pop-Up Press in homage to Chinatown. Jeremy Klaszus speaks with Wong about her family’s roots in Calgary and what she’s created for the Pop-Up Press—and why.
Join The Sprawl for a printing pop-up with Wong on Sunday, June 14, at 2 p.m. Meet at Sien Lok Park in Chinatown and make a print of Wong's artwork!
