Lunar New Year is one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Flushing and nearby areas today. It\u2019s a time for families and friends to get together. For many people who moved away from their hometown, it can also be a time to contemplate their relations with their roots. The time of the holiday also marks a turning point where the season returns from the bleakest and harshest winter days to a new period where lives are gradually brought back.<\/p>\n

More than 20 artworks from a wide array of visual styles, approaches, and mediums are on display in the gallery. Some artists find inspiration in traditional art techniques from their heritage and interweave new cultural elements encountered during their migrant experience; some explore relations with their roots and current place they settled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
