'We've all seen Law & Order, and every few seasons it seems like they do an episode set in Chinatown. Yu says Willis lives a kind of marginal existence. But for now, he's the star of Interior Chinatown, the new novel from Charles Yu, an award-winning writer for Westworld and other shows.

Willis hopes one day to be a Kung Fu Guy on movie screens around the world. You kind of know the show: She's an accomplished young detective, he's a third-generation cop, together they are Black and White, and they solve impossible cases. Willis Wu is often seen as a generic Asian Man in a restaurant or the background of a crime scene on a television drama called Black and White. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Drawing on her years of experience of living in transit between cultures and continents, her life as an immigrant deeply fuels her practice. The goal of the work is to bring a different perspective of displacement and to understand who is affected by or benefits from urban revitalization.Ting Ying Han is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, California. By using frottage to create the impression of street pavement and replacing street names with words of emotion, the drawings reflect the neighborhoods where residents have experienced changes in their communities.

The project â€œInvisible Landscapeâ€ focuses on exploring displacement through a historical, racial, cultural, and economical lens and on how gentrification unfolds in a community. Through my recent research on the history and legacy of redlining, I have learned about the long-lasting effects of this discriminatory practice on the economic health of urban minority communities.Â The ways in which urban landscapes shape the social fabric and identity of communities is of particular interest to me. Memory, migration, and belonging are central themes of my work. May 6th â€“ June 6th, Opening May 6th from 3pm â€“ 5pmÂ Invisible Landscape, an exhibition by Ting Ying Han Jessica Li spends a large majority of her time captivated with how life is lived and crafts experiences that spark conversations between friends and strangers. Jessica thoughtfully and playfully invites attendees to slow down and make, eat, and share stories about this beloved food. Yet modern comforts have flattened the experience of eating dumplings as an appetizer for a special meal while eating out or a convenient frozen store-bought meal. Originally a humble foodâ€“a peasantâ€™s solution to feeding the masses with only a small amount of meatâ€“dumplings come in so many varieties and are found all around the world. Besides being tasty and drenched in fun symbolism, dumplings are the singular traditional food during Lunar New Year that draws the whole family together in making and eating.
