<description>&lt;p&gt;Chinese Take Out and Microphones was an interactive art event dedicated to&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;remembering the people we can no longer share a table with. Over shared cartons of Chinese&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;takeout, participants were invited to step up to a microphone and tell stories—of important&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;characters, legendary adventures, small moments, and lasting influences that shaped who we&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;are. Voices were recorded to tape and broadcast as a living signal of memory and progress,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;carrying these stories beyond the room and into the air. Part communal meal, part oral history,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;part broadcast ritual, the night honored absence through presence, storytelling, and collective&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;listening.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
