Tea Ceremony with artist Jayanto Tan

Come and join us for the melodious reinterpretation of a traditional tea ceremony performed by artist Jayanto Tan. 

Taking place within the Generation Clay: Reimagining Asian Heritage exhibition space, in conjunction with the small work fairy tales from the celestial garden, Tan has created the lament of a tea ceremony performance that echoes the sound of a loved one. The performance of gathering and drinking the green tea whilst creating a magical sound from teacups collected from community, symbolises the act of sharing cultural knowledge. Embracing the tale of the past that brings us to the present to gain better understanding for the future.

Please bring your own tea cup to participate in a short ceremony.
