Step into the world of The Mahjong Project, where family memories, cultural traditions, and the subtle art of tile‑by‑tile strategy come alive through recorded conversations. From the bustling kitchens of Dunedin, New Zealand, to living rooms across the Asian diaspora, this initiative captures the oral histories that have kept mahjong’s rules, etiquette, and personal anecdotes alive for generations.
How does the act of playing mahjong bridge generations and diasporic communities to create a living archive? What are the rituals we create through homemade rules, strategy, and cultural norms? How do we listen to the games our ancestors and families played?
Let's explore where legacies are made through the mahjong's mechanics and the stories that give them meaning.
