AAM Lunar New Year Celebration

Celebrate Lunar New Year at the Asian Art Museum (AAM), with lions, laughter, and good luck, courtesy of the Lion Dance Team from UC Berkeley’s Vietnamese Student Association. A traditional art form in Vietnamese and Chinese culture, the lion dance combines movement and martial arts in a playful and spectacular experience for all ages.

In addition to two dynamic lion dance performances and all-day Mahjong, a large-scale Chinese brush painting demonstration (of a horse, of course!) by Pauline Tsui offers inspiration for Lunar-New-Year-themed art activities. In addition, author Eddie Ahn, the creator of graphic memoir "Advocate," will talk about community, Chinatown, and environmental justice.
