Queer Activism & Book Reading with Eugene I-Peng Tang
@ Chinese American Museum of Chicago
238 W 23rd St, 4th floor, Chicago, IL 60616
Opening Sunday, June 30th, from 2PM - 5PM
Join us for the first Pride Month show and event series at CAMOC!
This special program highlights the queer experience within the Chinese American community through art, storytelling, and conversation. Together we discover, preserve, and showcase the queer experience in our community to better tell the Chinese American story, and to make space in our community for acceptance and celebration of its loved and loving LGBTQ+ members.
This special show and event series results from a long term collaboration between 6018|North and CAMOC, curated by JI Yang.
Three artists who work closely with queer stories and narratives will join us for this program: Linye Jiang, Hai-Wen Lin, and Eugene I-Peng Tang. Their works create an immersive experience, allowing visitors to walk through their thoughts, stories, and perspectives through sculpture, video, photography, and interactive objects. Each week we invite you to join us for activations of the work, including presentations, storytelling sessions, and conversations with the artists.
We hope to see you all there!
