Origins Exhibition: Opening Reception
The Chinese American Museum will host an opening reception for its new exhibition, Origins: The Birth and Rise of Chinese American Communities in Los Angeles.
When:
December 13, 2012 5:00pm to 8:00pm
Where
Origins: The Birth and Rise of Chinese American Communities in Los Angeles creates a context for understanding Historic Chinatown, New Chinatown, and Monterey Park. Origins Online, an interactive website, facilitates further exploration and curation of emerging communities in the San Gabriel Valley and other Los Angeles locales.
Origins marks the first addition to CAM's permanent galleries since the Museum opened in 2003. Working closely with CAM, many community members researched and collected photographs and artifacts connecting these neighborhoods into one continuum of Chinese American history united by a commitment to community empowerment.
