Introducing ‘Sparrows 麻雀’ !!!

When translated, ‘mahjong’ means sparrows. It refers to the clacking sounds of the tiles being shuffled, resembling the chattering of sparrows.

Sparrows are social birds that travel together to survive– similar to the way diasporas move.

This installation explores the ways in which diasporic members organize mahjong games as a way to create community, negotiate identity and counter dominant political discourses.

You’re all invited to come and watch the short film, sit at the mahjong table, chat and play in the gallery.

Opening reception is on June 18th, 6-9pm, at @whippersnappergallery. come hang!!!!
There will be drinks and food from @chinatownfoodcoop, which supports undocumented workers in the city.

After that, the exhibition will run until the 30th.
It’ll be open everyday from 12-4pm, or by appointment. (msg me!!)

The film features @allflowersmahjong, @tyqisnima, @chineseprincess88, @xiareiyu, @cissy.the.artist — Big thank you for making this possible!

Grateful for all the people who have taken their time to speak to me about this and to all the friends I’ve met along the way in the last two years working on this :)
