Experience artist Colette Fu open the pop-up book Noodle Mountain, followed by a short artist talk in the Domestic Arts Building, where a portion of the Slow Motion exhibition is located. Noodle Mountain contemplates deeply personal memories, as well as the intergenerational histories of place, labor, and diaspora that food can conjure. Don’t miss a rare opportunity to engage with the artist and see this complex sculpture be activated!

Future activation dates include December 28 at 12PM, March 22, 2025, at 1PM, and May 17, 2025, at 12PM.
