Pearl River Mart's RISE Show Maps Three Decades of Asian American Pop

The exhibition includes the early history of the Asian American movement (“In the Beginning”), the evolution of Asian American identity, the depiction of Asians in the media (“The Propaganda Family Tree,” “How to Yellowface,” “#StarringJohnCho”), 1990s Asian American youth culture (“How to AZN”), Asian Americans and music (“The Asian American Playlist”), domestic life (“Asian Home”), and the rise of Asian American creators (“Pioneers of Asian American YouTube”).

RISE: A Pop History of Asian America from the Nineties to Now gathered three decades of essays and archival material from Jeff Yang, Phil Yu and Philip Wang. Curated by Yang and designed by Jonathan Lo, the exhibition transforms portions of the book into an immersive multimedia experience. Joanne Kwong, the store’s president, says she cannot think of a better fit for the gallery in what will be its 10th anniversary.

Saturday, Nov 7, 5 to 7 PM, at 452 Broadway between Howard and Grand. The events calendar still prints 4 to 6 PM; the ticket page and the exhibition page both say 5 to 7. Free, and registration is appreciated. The N, Q, R and 6 stop at Canal Street, a few minutes on foot. The show runs through January 3. Jack Shainman closes at 6 PM and T Shop at 7 PM; Fanelli Café pours until 1 AM.
