Hot & Noisy Bagua Chinatown Mahjong Art Social
Public art, 2019
BC Artscape, Sun Wah Centre, Chinatown
In collaboration with Youth Collaborative for Chinatown(YCC) and Nick Yung
Bagua’s Hot&Noisy Bagua Chinatown Mahjong Art Social, in collaboration with Youth Collaborative for Chinatown and Nick Yung, is a participatory public art which attempts to recreate a bustling public street curb scene of mahjong games inside a creative studio space. From the players to the mahjong tiles, everything is immersed in a text based visual installation in simplified, traditional Chinese, as well as in English--handwritten sayings and vernaculars behind the diverse mahjong culture.
