This workshop is part of a citywide event series, a collaboration between 6018|North, the Chinese American Museum of Chicago, and the Heritage Museum of Asian Art, occurring over the weekend of January 10 and 11, 2025.

Jan. 10 (Fri.), 6-9 p.m. at 6018|North
(6018 N Kenmore)
"Fortune for the Unfortunate: The First Read into 2025"
An evening of fortune telling, community gathering, art, and food.

Jan. 11 (Sat.), 2-4 p.m. at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art
(3500 S Morgan St, 3F)
"We Have All Been Transformed by Dragons"
Explore your internal dragon through movement, qigong, and writing exercises.

This is one example of what you will experience. For the last three years, Ji Yang and 6018North have been offering a form of Chinese Fortunetelling utilizing Kau Chim.

This fortune-telling method involves shaking a box containing 78 numbered bamboo sticks until a single stick falls out. That number corresponds to your fortune, as interpreted by artist-healers.

Watch the video for Ji’s explanation of their work!
