The CHSA Museum’s new exhibition Remnants: Artists Respond to the Chinese American Experience opens April 14, 2012. More information about the exhibition coming soon.
Coinciding with the Remnants exhibition opening is a performance by artist Lenora Lee. Lenora Lee’s interdisciplinary work “Reflections” integrates historical research, personal narrative, and artistic processes utilizing dance, video projection, martial arts, and Chinese lion dance. It is inspired by stories of three generations of men as they realize their identity and community as Chinese Americans. “Reflections” transforms perception into insight in a process that is at once provocative and affecting. 
Lee will share insight into her motivations, artistic craft, and exploration of cultural themes embedded in the work through commentary and video. These themes include the struggle to find one’s place and one’s community in a rapidly changing cultural and global environment.
“Reflections” by Lenora Lee Dance in collaboration with Kei Lun Martial Arts & Enshin Karate, South San Francisco Dojo, featuring media design by Olivia Ting, music by Francis Wong, text by Genny Lim, and videography by Ben Estabrook. Please visit www.LenoraLeeDance.com for more information.
