Lunar New Year Talk: Decoding the Chinese Almanac's Predictions for 2011

Adorable mascot or evil rodent? What does the Year of the Rabbit hold in store? Joanna C. Lee and Ken Smith (co-authors of the Pocket Chinese Almanac) return to decode the almanac’s predictions for 2011 and share a range of New Year’s traditions designed to protect your household. Their presentation highlights the work of UNESCO-recognized folk artist Tai Liping, a 20th-generation master of nianhua ("New Year’s pictures”), the paper wall hangings replaced each lunar year for good luck and defense against any specific tribulations predicted by the almanac.

Admission: $15/adult, $12/student, Free for MOCA members and seniors (65+). Each participant will receive a free copy of the Pocket Chinese Almanac (valued at $7).
