Our Second Home: Wai Yin

People at Wai Yin event

Members of Sheung Lok: Wai Yin Women's Society elderly luncheon club have worked with Manchester Art Gallery and textile artist Nina Chua. Together they created a dress, which commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Wai Yin. The garment is inspired by the achievements of Wai Yin over the past 20 years and Manchester City Galleries Chinese decorative arts and costume collection.

The dress is currently on display in the Manchester Gallery at Manchester Art Gallery.
