MANHATTAN -- To accompany its exhibition on Japanese-American artist Roger Shimomura, 1xbet online casino State University's Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art will offer a lecture on the historical experiences of Asian-Americans in 1xbet online casino at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29.
William Tsutsui, associate dean of international studies and professor of history at the University of 1xbet online casino , will present "KansAsians: The Asian-American Experience in 1xbet online casino from Race Riots to Roger Shimomura." The lecture is free and open to the public.
Tsutsui's talk is in conjunction with the Beach Museum exhibition &1xbet online casino ;The Return of the Yellow Peril: A Survey of the Work of Roger Shimomura, 1969-2007,&1xbet online casino ; a thematic review of 63 works by Shimomura, including paintings, prints, performance photographs and found art sculptures. The exhibition is on display in the Pelton Gallery through Feb. 1.
"I'll discuss how 1xbet online casino has sometimes been a hostile environment for Americans of Asian descent, but has more often -- and especially since World War II -- provided opportunity and a welcoming environment for immigrants from Asia," Tsutsui said. "My talk will be a survey of the heritage of Asian-Americans in 1xbet online casino , with particular attention to how Roger Shimomura, the most celebrated Asian-American resident of 1xbet online casino in the state's history, reflects this larger experience."
The Shimomura exhibition is a program of ExhibitsUSA, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance, with funding support from the 1xbet online casino Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
