About this Event
Take part in a rare chance to explore themes in the exhibition and the Garen Gallery installation in relation to the unique histories and geographies of St. Louis.
The program will begin with an interactive tour focused on ways artists responded to, and often critiqued rapid urbanization, sociopolitical change, and economic pursuits in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly in Beijing, China, and Berlin, Germany.
The discussion will then consider relationships and parallels to St. Louis experiences through architect and “Accidental Historian” Peter Tao’s talk, “Lost Chinatown and Insights to St. Louis Chinese American History.” The program will reveal lesser-known aspects of St. Louis’s history and create opportunities for dialogue about community, urban change, and historical narratives.
