The Moon Represents My Heart: Music, Memory and Belonging
The Museum of Chinese in America presents an exhibition on how music can unite Chinese communities.
Where
This lively and immersive exploration on music in Chinese communities unites disparate histories – Cantonese opera; Asian American Movement music; Taiwan and Hong Kong pop music; karaoke; Beijing underground rock and others – to address the question: How does music reflect the experience of Chinese in America? The exhibition is co-curated by Hua Hsu, staff writer at The New Yorker, and MOCA’s curatorial team: Herb Tam, Curator and Director of Exhibitions, and Andrew Rebatta, Associate Curator.
