Under One Moon
Immersive Video Mapping Experience 

About

Chopsticks Alley Art is pleased to present Under One Moon, an immersive experience celebrating the traditions of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This unique blend of contemporary visuals, poetry, and music highlights the moon's significance among a diverse range of cultures and histories. Featured artists include Illuminate SJ Now!!!, Cynthia Cao, Sabrina Kwong, and Robin Lasser, with an original score by Troy Truong.

​

The storyline highlights our connection to the earth, moon, water, animals, plant life, and each other, and calls viewers to take action and protect our water, juxtaposed with animations from Moon Festival folklore and myths from various cultural traditions. Personal narratives are synthesized with iconic folklore – we have collected stories from the San Jose community both in person and via social media to infuse our community's lived experience into the exhibition.

​

The exhibition will also feature artworks from our community.
