This year, our annual event celebrates the important role that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) artists play in their communities by sharing personal stories about their culture and history through film, writing, and dance.
The evening will feature a conversation with Celeste Ng, the bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, and Ju Yon Kim, the Patsy Takemoto Mink Professor of English at Harvard University, reflecting on the ways their Asian heritage and their life experiences have informed and shaped their successful academic and writing careers. They will compare and contrast how Asian Americans are portrayed in film, literature, and American media and how their work has influenced and impacted the narrative about representation in culture.
The Wah Lum Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academy Dance troupe will also perform and GBH WORLD will preview upcoming program highlights from the May schedule celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month.
