How is culture handed down across generations and borders? How are places and spaces of belonging created and sustained? And what is the role of art and artists in creating these connections?
Join best-selling author Sarah Thankam Mathews, artist and Luminary Sneha “IMAGINE” Shrestha, and creative producer Susan Chinsen of the Boston Asian American Film Festival as they discuss these questions and explore themes of displacement, home, and building community through the arts in an expansive conversation moderated by award-winning journalist Heidi Shin.
In anticipation of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, this panel of leading Asian American artists and cultural producers will share how they use imagination to work with memory and how they redefine identity on their own terms. This program and others are organized in connection with current exhibition Raqib Shaw: Ballads of East and West (February 15 - May 12, 2024). Exhibition galleries will be open before and after the program.
Advanced tickets are required and include Museum admission. Adults $20, seniors $18, students $13, free for members and children 17 and under.
Seating in Calderwood Hall is first come, first served. Seating begins 45 minutes before the event. Late seating is not guaranteed.
