Metro and the Lone Fir Cemetery Foundation are joining together to host an event in honor of Qingming (Tomb-Sweeping Day) at the historic Chinese section of the cemetery. Meet at the southwestern corner of the cemetery, labeled Block 14 on cemetery maps.
This is a chance to hear updates on the project to build a memorial to those who were buried at the site. It is also an opportunity to review possible concepts for art to honor the departed. Artists Qi You and Sophia Xiao-fan Austrins will present ideas for the future memorial's altar and seek feedback from community members on which ideas to pursue.
This event will also offer time and space to pay respects to ancestors and to honor the site's history.
This event is free and open to all. Light refreshments provided. Event is outdoors so dress for the weather.
