This month, we’re looking at Asian tradition beyond the tangible — foodways, festivals, languages, gestures, crafts, and digital folklore. We’ll be exploring how memory becomes a living medium in the 21st century.

Every year, nearly half a million people walk across Taiwan for a goddess born over 1,000 years ago.
Mazu(妈祖) is Taiwan’s sea goddess, a folk deity believed to protect sailors and grant blessings. Her followers carry her wooden statue on a palanquin for up to 9 days straight, stopping at temples, sleeping on floors, and eating food handed out for free by strangers along the route.
What’s interesting is that more young people are getting involved. The pilgrimage has always been about faith. But for a new generation, it has also become a way to express and present themselves.
“I didn’t expect to see so many young people joining the pilgrimage,” said 28-year-old fashion designer, who traveled from Taipei to take part in the pilgrimage. “People used to think Mazu worship was something for rural elders. But look around…that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.”

Your grandma’s mahjong set wouldn’t survive 2026.
Mahjong (麻将) is a game where each tile carries a specific pattern, and just like playing cards, every pattern has its own meaning.
Nowadays, the tiles stay the same, but instead of a bird’s pattern, Twitter swoops in to replace it. Instead of the classic East, West, South, and North (东南西北), you get Pokémon. Instead of 發 (prosperity), you get coins from Mario. Apparently, every brand has something to say about mahjong now.

Photographer Michael Wolf spent years documenting life in Hong Kong’s dense urban spaces. But one of his most fascinating projects? “Bastard Chairs.”
These are the chairs he found on Hong Kong streets, all broken, and abandoned. Instead, they’ve been given second lives through whatever materials were on hand: tape, rope, wooden slats, electrical wire. Each one is a makeshift repair job, a hybrid of old and new, broken and functional.
