Cha & Paint: Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival
About this Event
Hosted by Afrodesiac Collective — a space for cultural curiosity, creativity, and connection.
Join Afrodesiac Collective for a warm, creative evening inspired by the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) — a centuries-old celebration centered around the full moon, gathering with loved ones, gratitude, and togetherness.
From 6:30–8:30 PM, we’ll slow down, sip Chinese tea, enjoy light Chinese snacks, and paint beautiful lanterns while discovering some of the stories, traditions, and symbolism connected to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lanterns have long been associated with Chinese festivals and celebrations, bringing light, color, and a sense of wonder to community gatherings. During this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll receive your own lantern to decorate however you’d like, with guidance, inspiration, and plenty of room to make your design completely your own.
Along the way, we’ll explore the cultural significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival, from the importance of the full moon and family reunions to mooncakes, lanterns, and some of the stories traditionally associated with the celebration.
No painting experience or prior knowledge of Chinese culture is needed. Just bring your curiosity.
Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a unique date night. You’ll leave with your own hand-painted lantern and, hopefully, a little more curiosity and appreciation for Chinese culture than when you arrived.
