MengCheng 梦城团Collective
About MengCheng 梦城团 Collective
梦城团 is an invitation into intergenerational dialogue, communal healing, and empowerment by sharing the Chinese-American experience of living in the South.
MengCheng 梦城 "City of Dreams" is inspired by the Chinese name for Memphis, or MengFeiSi 孟菲斯.
As artists who grew up in Memphis, we formed this collective to challenge the way our cultural histories have been collected, disseminated, or made invisible.
We are creating opportunities to involve the Southern Chinese-American community in their own archive making, healing, and resource building.
We aim to create processes that allow the Chinese-American community to not only see ourselves in the history and future of the Mid-South, but also to claim our agency in enacting change.
