Curator’s Note: The concept of this iteration builds from the importance of family in Asian cultures, the tensions between blood family and the family we come to choose. This May, Ellen Chang-Richardson brings together two creators from the pan-Asian diaspora and two creators, not, whose works deal with the notion of family — roots, lineages, and futures — to deepen and expand this conversation of intersectional familial relationships and the boundaries, blurred and distinct, between eastern and western understandings.
Riverbed Reading Series is an inclusive, experimental series at the intersection of poetry, prose, music, performance & more. Co-founded and curated by Nina Jane Drystek and Ellen Chang-Richardson.
