World Beat Gallery
The World Beat Gallery is a cultural exhibition space run by the Salem Multicultural Institute. It aims to keep the cultural conversation moving forward year round. Exhibits are curated by community members to help reflect and share their culture. The gallery will feature “Impressions of China” January 26 through April 20, 2022, which will explore the culture of China through its music, clothing, traditions and more — from the Lunar New Year to life in China today. And this colorful and eye-catching display will include a multimedia element, too. The gallery will show a variety of specially made videos that explore China and Chinese culture. There will also be a number of events in conjunction with the exhibit, so keep an eye out once it opens in January.
