Dragon dance and presentation by Kei Lun Martial Arts
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA)
(see times)
***RSVP REQUIRED***
Corey Chan of Kei Lun Martial Arts will share images and talk about the restoration he and colleagues Ben Huey and Jeff Lee performed on an historic antique dragon from March through August 2014. This priceless treasure belongs to the Chinese Community of Marysville, California and has resided at the Bok Kai Temple—itself a living monument to the history of Chinese-Americans in our country. How did these artists complete a project in a way that would please the dragon’s owners and the Museum that commissioned the restoration while remaining true to their own artistic integrity and the original creator’s vision?
(The Marysville Dragon is currently on view at the New York Historical Society Museum as part of their new exhibit “Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion” through April 2015.)
