As part of the UBC Centennial Lunar New Year Festival, we warmly invite you to join us for a gathering of storytelling featuring the hidden history of early Chinese Canadian and First Nations relations.

Commonly known as “the NEST,” or “the egg,” the Performance Theatre is located on Level 2 (one level up from Upper Case, Peko Peko Sushi, etc.). If you cannot find the space, please see a volunteer greeter.
