Celebrate the close of the New Year season and “Walking with Lions” with a mahjong party! For newbies and people who need brush-ups, we'll have MJ coaches at 3 tables. For those coming ready to win, you can join the adult swim table. This Lantern Festival Mahjong Party will be our last program before we close for renovations, so come learn how to play mahjong and say goodbye to this version of 1 Pike St!

“Walking with Lions” offers an interior view of the vibrant Lunar New Year celebrations in Manhattan's iconic Chinatown. For more than two decades, Cheng has chronicled Manhattan Chinatown's Lunar New Year celebrations in black-and-white film. Using his 35mm, medium format camera, Cheng documents the unique blend of NYC Chinatown-specific rituals and historic traditions, showcasing the cultural resiliency of a diasporic community that has built a home in America. The show also features guest artist Warren King’s “Lion Dancer, 2024”, a sculptural piece made out of corrugated cardboard, an homage to those who preserve our cultural traditions, inspired by the red lacquer carvings of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
