SUMMARY:Pop-up: Tina Chang
DESCRIPTION:Tina Chang reads from her new poetry collection Lion at Portland Art Museum in the Native American Art gallery (Level 2\, Room 215)\, paired with Sara Siestreem\, fastened to the rock (blood\, sweat\, and tears). \nAbout Lion:\nIn Lion\, Tina Chang mines personal and collective memory to explore safety and danger\, visibility and invisibility as an Asian American woman. Throughout the collection\, Chang responds to multi-hyphenate women artists\, including Haena Yoo\, Hồng-An Trương\, Astria Suparak\, and a collective whose work paid tribute to the life of Christina Yuna Lee\, a young woman who was killed during the height of anti-Asian hate crimes. Responding to art across various media—text\, illustration\, painting\, video\, and sculpture—Lion sparks cross-disciplinary dialogue on Asian American perspectives\, surveillance\, and the myth of the model minority. \nAs the aftermath of the pandemic is examined\, so too are the structures of bias\, racism\, and violence that continue. The collection’s title explores the word’s cultural history\, composite Chinese iconography\, and lion-centered explorations of strength and mastery. Lion traverses the closeness and distance between the racialized self the world views and the perceived self who endures and survives. \n  \n“An urgent exploration of Asian American identity from a poet with a ‘fearless imagination.’”–Tracy K. Smith\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize
