About the event
Presented by:
Echoes of China
New York City Chinese Dance Company
Quadrant International Art Association
ROOT is Origin
Where culture begins.
Where stories are carried forward.
ROOT is Heritage
Tradition is not the past, but something still being carried into the present.
ROOT is Belonging
No matter where we live, we all search for where we come from.
ROOT is Growth
From strong roots, new possibilities rise.
ROOT is Resilience
Unseen, yet deeply powerful.
ROOT is Future
The past becomes the ground for what comes next.
In the AAPI context, ROOT reflects our search for belonging, wherever we were born, wherever we live now.
Like roots that grow unseen underground, culture and community endure through migration and change. And with strong roots, new growth becomes possible. This is our hope for traditional arts to flourish, here in New York.
