Rotterdam Chinese New Year 2018

Chinese New Yearis traditionally celebrated with various activities and festivities in the center of Rotterdam.

In 2018, the 'year of the Dog', I attended the opening ceremony in the city center, watching - and sketching - the familiar lion dance, the painting of a dog statue by an artist collective, and a Chinese cooking workshop. And the visitors, of all ages! Scroll through the resulting reportage below, or click on the images to see the overview and close-ups in my gallery.

Happy #urbansketching!
