The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) and Fuzhou Sisters warmly invite you to an afternoon exploring the history, memory, and culture of the Fuzhounese community through storytelling, performance, archival art, and Qinghong rice wine.

For decades, Fuzhounese immigrants have shaped New York’s Chinatown, carrying stories of migration, resilience, labor, family, and home. This event highlights a rarely seen chapter of that history through artifacts from MOCA’s collection, including paper sculptures created by Fuzhounese immigrants detained after the Golden Venture incident. These works preserve their voices, experiences, and memories from a pivotal moment in Fuzhounese migration history.

Through migration stories, archival materials, a guided tasting of Fuzhou Qinghong rice wine, and a Qinghong-inspired performance, we will trace the journey of a community across oceans and generations. This event offers a deeper look at the Fuzhounese experience and the stories that continue to shape the community today.
