MAHJONG WORKSHOP
Learn to play Mahjong, the ancient and popular game from China. Two professional players from Holland Casino Rotterdam explain all about the game. Of course you can play a game afterwards.
GUESS WHO: ASIAN EDITION
In Western countries such as the Netherlands, there is little to no representation and representation of the various Asian communities in the national media. As a result, people are not aware that negative associations have been created. The associations manifest themselves, for example, in: prejudice, microaggressions, discrimination and racist remarks.
Many communities originating from Asia are often forgotten when creating policies on anti-racism, discrimination and inclusiveness. When naming the word "Asian," one quickly thinks of East Asian ethnicities such as: Chinese, Korean and Japanese while Asia is a huge continent rich in diverse cultures and people.
With this accessible and simple game 'Who am I? Asia edition' creator Rui Jun aims to capture various people from Asian communities and diaspora intersectionally. You can read the stories of the people in the portrait cards at guesswho.ruijunluong.co.uk. You'll view and play the game at Deli Square during RCNY.
PHOTOCONTAINER
Exhibition Lisa Hu - A proper place
A photoseries on how Chinese female immigrants can overcome traditional limitations and challenges of an unfamiliar culture and language to find a place in society.
Lisa Hu: "Even in the Netherlands, because of tradition and prejudice, women still have to make more efforts and greater sacrifices than men to be heard and seen in society. How can Chinese female immigrants overcome traditional limitations and challenges of an unfamiliar culture and language to find a place in society? In recent years, I have visited 25 first-generation Chinese women from different sectors and age groups.
Through a feminine, comprehensive perspective, accompanied by interviews, I portray the women with particular attention to their Chinese identity in a different, Dutch environment. They are here and always also there; they experience a double connection."
FILMCONTAINER
In collaboration with IFFR, the short film "Now I'm in the Kitchen" by Yana Pan is running. An impressionistic animated film that brings to life the kitchen culture and distance between a Chinese mother and her American daughter.
Adrian Martin on the film: "An engaging, intimate animated film by CalArts graduate Yana Pan, in which kitchenware is brought to life and enchanted. As everyday objects and ingredients sway and dance before our eyes, the literal and figurative distance between a traditional Chinese mother and her daughter's life as an animator and designer in New York becomes apparent. Spending time together in the kitchen proves to be a bridge between their completely different worlds."
LIVE PAINT
The Zodiac of the year, the dragon, will be transformed on Deli Square into a collaborative work of art by Katendrecht. Two dragons will be painted on Sunday, one by Artist Nathalie Jang and one by visitors themselves.
