Shaping the Here: A Conversation On Immigrant and Refugee Artists and Culture Bearers of Color, with Jeff Chang and Aaron Johnson-Ortiz is a free public conversation on the powerful role immigrant and refugee artists and culture bearers of color have played in shaping American culture.
Cultural historian and author Jeff Chang will discuss his critically acclaimed new book, Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America—called “an exuberant new biography” by the New York Times—then join (Neo)Muralismos de México founder Aaron Johnson-Ortiz for a conversation on how immigrant and refugee artists of color have shaped American culture. Poets Nimo Farah and Kevin Yang will open with short performances, followed by audience Q&A.
