A Visual Odyssey into the Chinese New Year

At the heart of this exhibition lies the celebration of the Lunar New Year, a time-honored tradition marked by the Fil-Chi community, descendants of Chinese migrants who ventured to the Philippines seeking new opportunities and forging lasting bonds. Through the creative expressions of our Chinoy artists, we illuminate the stories of resilience, adaptation, and cultural fusion that define this dynamic relationship.
Through the eyes of our Chinoy artists, “Dynasty of Dreams” offers a glimpse into this fascinating cultural tapestry, where tradition and innovation converge in a celebration of unity and diversity. From the evocative brushstrokes of traditional Chinese calligraphy to the dynamic energy of contemporary mixed media installations, each artwork tells a story of resilience, adaptation, and cultural fusion.
As you explore the exhibition, immerse yourself in the scent of a specially designed fragrance by Lumi Candles PH, capturing the essence of citrus and floral notes that evoke the spirit of renewal and prosperity. Let the curated music, spun on a vinyl record player by REGA Philippines, transport you through the ages, weaving a melodic tapestry that mirrors the dynamic exchange of curation, tradition, and innovation.
As we welcome the new year with open arms, may “Dynasty of Dreams” ignite a sense of wonder and possibility, reminding us of the endless potential that lies within each new beginning.
Join us as we honor the spirit of renewal and transformation that permeates the Chinese New Year festivities.
