MAU Calendar 2021
Tales of the Historic Vancouver chinatown
Print Publication · IllustrationMAU (Makers Artists United) Calendar, initiated by Elisa Yon in 2018, is a community-driven project produced by creatives and makers in Vancouver’s Chinatown. In its third year, this limited-edition risograph-printed calendar draws inspiration from traditional rice paper lunar calendars, capturing the contemporary spirit of the community in family recipes, original writings, and local histories.
The 2021 MAU Calendar features artwork by Vancouver artists Jamie Loh, Cindy Mochizuki, Hue Nguyen, and Stella Zheng — along with contributions from local restaurateurs and community members. The calendar's photoshoot was inspired by the ingredients and recipes featured in each month.
