SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara Museum of Art to present Inside Stories/Outside Tales “Inwardly Defiant: Yunte Huang and Celine Shimizu.”
Celebrated author, Guggenheim Fellow and UCSB professor Yunte Huang reads from his latest book, Daughter of the Dragon, an in-depth exploration of Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American film star who both encouraged and defied the Hollywood industry’s efforts to categorize her. Huang is interviewed by Celine Parreñas Shimizu, film scholar, filmmaker, and Dean of the Division of the Arts and Distinguished Professor of Film and Media at UC Santa Cruz. She is formerly Professor and Director of the School of Cinema at San Francisco State University and Professor of Asian American, Feminist and Film and Media Studies at UC Santa Barbara.
Inside Stories/Outside Tales
Local award-winning authors share new work and invite conversation about identity and voice, what we share, what we conceal, and what might be lost or gained in translation. Offered in conjunction with the exhibition Inside/Outside, on view through February 18, 2024.
