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

​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.

​Saturday, May 16 (11:00am–12:30pm) — Chinatown Walking Tour

​Join a walking tour through Chinatown, highlighting neighborhood spaces, everyday objects, and cultural iconography. Together, we’ll reflect on what we keep, what we inherit, and how objects come to occupy space in our communities, homes, and hearts.

​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.
