A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
"At Home/On Stage is premised on the idea that photography, film, and video are key mediums in considering histories of representation. The mediums have been historically deployed both in the advancement of and in rebuttal to problematic or absent media depictions. The contemporary Asian American photographers and filmmakers in the exhibition employ a range of strategies to not only redress negative representation but critique the idea of representation itself... “On Stage” responds to the lack of accurate, positive representation of Asian Americans in mainstream American visual and performing art through Asian American artist portraits and conceptual projects re-appropriating found art historical and cinematic imagery... “At Home,” conversely, responds to the same pernicious stereotypes in another way by showing Asian Americans in their private, family lives, during moments of joy, repose, grief, and comfort. "
