八宝粥 Ba Bao Zhou is a capsule collection celebrating the everyday abundance of our beloved Chinatown.

-

八宝粥 Ba Bao Zhou, or “Eight Treasures Porridge,” is a traditional Chinese sweet stew made from a herbal treasures such as lotus seeds, mung beans, and red peanuts. It is a beloved symbol of cultural abundance and community nourishment.

Created in collaboration with Lorraine Lum and the Chinatown community during Joy Mao’s 2022 Artist Residency at The W.O.W. Project, the collection investigates how clothing-making can be a vessel for community care.

Summer 2022's inaugural edition of Ba Bao Zhou features a library of motifs representing the community's symbols of abundance—hand-carved and printed in green-blue tones on ivory linen.

During the collection's Pilot Production from August-September 2022, a limited number of pieces are made-to-order by Joy and Lorraine in Manhattan Chinatown, with motifs and sizes customized to each wearer. All proceeds will go towards Joy and Lorraine's next adventure.
