Opening Thursday, May 27th, at 7PM
In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, join Dr. Ada Cheng for her presentation Not Quite: Asian Americans and the “Other” in the Era of the Pandemic and the Uprising. In this performance, Dr. Cheng explores several major themes: the meanings of home(land), racial profiling and the image of the perpetual foreigner, and anti-Asian racism under the pandemic.
Dr. Cheng is a professor-turned-storyteller, solo performer, and storytelling show producer. She was a tenured professor in sociology at DePaul University from 2001-2016 when she resigned to pursue storytelling and performance full time.
