Event Date: Saturday, December 7 · 2 - 4pm CST

Join us for an engaging conversation about heritage and the future with art and culture leaders and practitioners in our community. In partnership with the Center for Native Future, Yollocalli Arts Reach, Chinese American Museum of Chicago, Project:VISION, Tyhone Dance Troupe, and more.

In the spirit of the Year of the Dragon, we approach our collaboration through the imagery of the Chinese Dragon, Loong. Loong is a mythical creature with a camel's head, cat eyes, deer horns, a serpent's body, carp scales, and eagle's claws. It symbolizes the unification of diverse forces working together to achieve excellence. Its mythical power derives from the coordination of all these elements, reflecting the reality of the everyday experience as immigrants and our shared efforts in the realm of art and culture.

We also approach the act of inheriting as a way to keep alive. Keeping alive creates opportunities for growth and renewal. Inheriting comes with responsibility and a commitment to learning, which require nurturing, dedication, and continuous reflection.

In this conversation, we will focus on cross-generational collaboration, youth engagement, and the future.

Please note tours may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.
