NEO LUNAR: Transmuting Traditions
An immersive experience where tradition meets Asian-futurism.
Curated and produced by Yăng Shēng.
A love letter to the Bay Area and extended family who grew up with the culture:
Embodying the traditions our ancestors embraced and bringing them into 2026. Bridging the intergenerational gap, and creating something entirely our own — bring the aunties and the homies.
This Year of the Fire Horse, NEO LUNAR threads the throughline of art, fashion, food, and performance.
