Description

Join Kimball Art Center in an intimate conversation centered around Cathy Park Hong's recent essay on the possibilities of Asian identity. About Minor Feelings: Part memoir and part cultural criticism, this collection is vulnerable, humorous, and provocative – and its relentless and riveting pursuit of vital questions around family and friendship, art and politics, identity and individuality, will change the way you think about our world. Discussion will be led by author Paisley Rekdal.
