Resonance: From Archive to Art — Portraits of Asian American Resilience In-Person
Presented by the Asian American Art and Culture Initiative (AAACI) in celebration of America's 250th Anniversary and Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Resonance draws on archival research from the Houston Asian American Archive and Austin History Center to explore the lives of pioneering Asian Texans Joe Lung and Inez Lung Lee through live performance, artist dialogue, and their descendants.
The program also introduces a documentary film currently in development, expected in 2027-2028.
