All Ages

Lunarfest is a celebration of the Lunar New Year and Chinese culture, offering arts and cultural programs for adults and children throughout the city of New Haven and at Yale. Lunarfest creates community bonds through schools, arts nonprofit, and business partnerships.
Programs begin in the fall each year and culminate in a series of performances and events celebrating Lunar New Year. Critical partners are Yale, the City of New Haven, Town Green, and the schools, arts nonprofits, and libraries that offer space to discover new cultures in the greater New Haven neighborhood.

Based on the New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic story of a refugee family who fled the civil war in Syria to make a new life in America, this acclaimed novel follows the Aldabaan family as they start a new life in Connecticut. Panelists in this event will examine the role of translation, both linguistic and cultural in the context of refugee resettlement.
Panelists include:
Naji Aldabaan | Hall High School
Jake Halpern | New York Times
Mohammed Kadalah | Department of Modern Languages and Literature, Santa Clara University
