Traditional Lion Heads from across Asia
This exhibit features traditional Lion heads representing various styles of Lion not normally seen in the US. These heads are all handmade and representative of various styles of Lion Dancing being performed in China, Malaysia, and Taiwan. Some of these heads represent specific styles of Lion Dance that are on the verge of being lost & forgotten.
Ken Morin
Ken has called Boston Chinatown his home for the last 17 years, where he has lived, worked, and played. He has also been involved in Lion Dance for the last 24 years. Ken has traveled extensively throughout Asia and he is now back in Boston. After initially moving and living in Penang for 6 months, the first waves of COVID hit worldwide, shutting Malaysia into lockdown. During this time Ken decided to devote his time to learning the art of Lion Head making. This exhibit shows the results.
