Behind the Festival: Curation, Programming, and How It All Started

Join our two co-founders, SHEN Wei, Artistic Director, and Promise Xu, Director, Marketing in our first-ever Behind the Festival: Curation, Programming, and How It All Started event. Enjoy a fireside chat about the fascinating process of, and thoughts and stories behind our curation and programming this year, as well as the stories behind our festival’s inception. This would also be a great opportunity to ask any question you want. Afterward, stay for an intimate reception with them and the rest of the Mulan team and enjoy light refreshments.
