We are deeply saddened by the passing of a respected individual Wesley Mitchell whose life brought people and cultures together. His life was a reminder that kindness knows no boundaries and that cultures can stand together as one. The video reflects this spirit through the meaningful integration of Indigenous and Chinese drumming cultures, symbolizing shared humanity. We are grateful for the example he set and the unity he inspired. His legacy will continue to guide our communities forward. May he rest in peace.

Want to adopt a Giant Chinese Dragon with a mouth which can open and close?

Mr Long 龙 is a functional giant dragon puppet with a movable mouth which was created last year. Mr Long 龙 can be danced alongside drumming, similar to the traditional Chinese dragon dance.

For Lunar New Year this year, we have painted Mr Long 龙 Red & Yellow which are Chinese lucky colours.

Unfortunately, we don't have the space to keep Mr Long 龙. We are looking to rehome Mr Long 龙 for free.

Please reach out if you are interested! 🐉🏮👲🏼
