Join the USC Pacific Asia Museum for a sonic exploration of the Asian American experience, and its many beautiful contradictions.

 

This performance is a follow-up to the 2021 theatrical podcast Blood on Gold Mountain, which gained national recognition for its portrayal of the 1871 LA Chinatown Massacre. 

 

American Dreams/Asian Nightmares engages with Anti-Asian violence and rhetoric from the inside out. The three-part program combines Asian and American music traditions, Data Sonification and Anti-Colonial performance art to break down barriers of Race and Nationality, and spark new dialogues about what it means and how it feels to be Asian-American.

 

National Endowment of the Arts Award performance

 

This program is free. Reservations are required.
