Qingming Festival Community Gathering (Tiandi Universal Market 天地通用市场 Presents)

In honor of Qingming Festival, Tiandi Universal Market invites community members to gather for an afternoon of reflection, remembrance, and connection.

Through simple hands-on activities and shared cultural traditions, participants will explore practices of ancestral remembrance and traditional rituals in a supportive community environment. Together, we create space to reflect on memory, heritage, and collective care.

Qingming Festival is traditionally a time to honor ancestors and reconnect with family heritage. This gathering invites participants to engage with these traditions through creative making, conversation, and shared cultural experience.

This event is open to all members of the community.

在清明节这一特殊时刻，我们邀请社区成员共同相聚，通过手工活动与传统文化实践，进行一次关于记忆、祖先与文化传承的集体体验。

在轻松与支持性的社群环境中，参与者将通过简单的创作与交流，探索祭祖与传统仪式的意义，并在共同的文化实践中重新连接记忆、文化与社区关怀。

清明节是华人文化中纪念祖先、回望家族历史的重要节日。本次活动希望通过集体创作与文化交流，让参与者在社区中体验传统文化所带来的疗愈与连接。

本活动向所有社区成员开放。

This community gathering is part of Tiandi Universal Market (天地通用市场), a community-centered, socially engaged art initiative that reimagines traditional ritual practices within Asian and Asian diasporic communities.

The project explores how traditional cultural practices can create spaces for reflection, healing, and shared memory within contemporary communities.

This project is funded by the Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) 2026 “What Can We Do?” Grant.
