Suzanne Lacy with Barbara Clausen and thirty young women from Vancouver High Schools (Vancouver Canada, 1997-8_)

The Turning Point Project was a two-year collaboration of girls and adults to identify and enhance the public voice of Vancouver teenage girls. The downtown face of Vancouver was transforming due to an influx of Chinese money from Hong Kong, soon to revert to Chinese rule. British citizens were moving and sending their children to Vancouver to go to school, causing a rapid increase in Chinese and southeast asian population. This project explored multi-racial perspectives among teen girls and how they “situated” themselves and were situated within the public sphere.
