“Strange You Never Knew: A Conversation About Art, Identity, & Community”: UMMA
Panel discussion with metro Detroit native photographer Jarod Lew and art curators Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander from Stanford University, Howie Chen from NYU, Simon Wu from Yale University, and Yechen Zhao from the Art Institute of Chicago. The conversation is inspired by Lew’s current UMMA exhibit, on view until June 15, a meditation on the Asian diaspora in Detroit through photographs inspired by Lew’s discovery that his mother was once the fiancée of Vincent Chin, the Chinese American autoworker murdered in a 1982 hate crime. 5:30–7 p.m., UMMA, Helmut Stern Auditorium, 525 S. State. Free. umma.umich.edu/events. (734) 764–0395.
