Altar-Making with Think!Chinatown for Lunar New Year

To ring in the Year of the Horse, join the Tenement Museum and Think!Chinatown for a special workshop on altar-making. Held on Monday, February 23 from 6pm to 8pm, participants in the workshop will learn about the elements of altars and alter-making and see the newly installed altar in the Museum's garment factory exhibit, which tells the story of the Wongs, a Chinese immigrant family that moved to New York City in 1965. After learning more about the practice of altar-making, you'll then get hands-on guidance from artist Alison Kuo in a craft-making session for a home altar.
