Overview

Brisbane's Judith Wright Centre will be alive with spirit and colour to celebrate the 2013 Chinese New Year.

The Centre will host the HSBC Chinese New Year Historical and Cultural Display as part of the Fortitude Valley's two week long celebration. This exhibition features the “Sojourners and Settlers” display, curated by the Chinese-Australian Historical Association, which celebrates 150 years of Chinese in Queensland. From the 11th to the 15th of February, at 11am and 1pm everyday, the gallery will be hosting traditional knot-tying lessons, tea-ceremonies and calligraphy workshops – all of which are free.

The Chinese New Year festivities will be flooding the Fortitude Valley for almost two weeks, so check out some of the nearby activities here and make it a fortnight of celebration. Be sure to visit and divulge yourself in Chinese culture at the Judith Wright Centre's Chinese New Year Historical Display - bring in the Year of the Snake with a bang.
