  • The Society of Heart's Delight (map)

Welcome to join our Yellow Peril Redux project speakers series # 4!

For this roundtable on Arts, Museum and Asian Americans Community, panelists will talk about topics they think important to our understanding of Arts and Asian American identity and community in the U.S. , from their specialty field and/or personal experiences and to gain an understanding how American museum can play an active role in eliminating the stereotype of Asian-Americans in contemporary society through exhibition and programs. This panel on art and museums will contribute tremendously to this roundtable and to increase awareness of art’s importance to cross-cultural understanding between peoples and identity reconstruction of Asian-Americans.
