The Grief Gallery: Objects of Longing and Belonging - Chinatown Tour (Friday)

​The Grief Gallery: Objects of Longing and Belonging is a series of walking tours and gatherings exploring how everyday objects shape our sense of memory, identity, and place.

​Friday, May 15 (2:00–3:30pm) — Chinatown Walking Tour

​This guided walking tour explores how everyday objects carry personal, cultural, and emotional meaning. Beginning with a pop-up installation from The Grief Gallery®, we’ll move through Chinatown considering what makes certain objects “iconic," from design classics to items rooted in cultural practice.

​Meeting Point: Welcome to Chinatown - The Hub, 115 Bowery

​Admission: Free

​RSVP Required. Limited Spaces (please cancel your RSVP if you can't make it!)

​...

​This series invites participants to consider objects not only for their design and function, but for what they carry, personally, culturally, and emotionally.

​At the center of this experience is The Grief Gallery®, a participatory project created by curator Charlene Lam that engages objects as not only static artifacts but active sites of meaning, holding layers of personal and collective significance.

​Attendees will explore how objects move between the practical and the symbolic, and how certain items become “iconic” within different cultural and personal contexts.
