Chinese Food Art Exhibition Opens In Flushing Through September

QUEENS — A new art exhibition exploring Chinese food through personal stories by Chinese and Asian American chefs opened its doors in Downtown Flushing in March.

The Museum of Chinese in America set up the exhibition in Tangram, the shopping mall located at 133-33 39th Avenue on March 17, and will run through Sept. 10, 2023.

“This exhibition from MOCA is a celebration of Chinese cuisine and culture, and there is no better place to display this than at the heart of Flushing, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the United States with over 69% of its immigrant population coming from Asia,” reads a statement from the museum.

“Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” will feature video installations showing the stories of chefs including Martin Yan, Ken Hom, Ming Tsai and Anita Lo.

Restaurateurs including Peter Chang, Jason Wang, and Danny Bowien will also be featured in the exhibition.

The free exhibition will open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday; and from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
