An Evening with Wesley Yang, Writer and Author of Paper Tigers

2011 09 07 Wesley-Yang Icon

“Sometimes I’ll glimpse my reflection in a window and feel astonished by what I see. Jet-black hair. Slanted eyes. A pancake-flat surface of yellow-and-green-toned skin. An expression that is nearly reptilian in its impassivity. I’ve contrived to think of this face as the equal in beauty to any other. But what I feel in these moments is its strangeness to me. It’s my face. I can’t disclaim it. But what does it have to do with me?” - from Paper Tigers

Join us at ArtGate Gallery for an informal evening of conversation with Wesley Yang, author of the recent New York Magazine article Paper Tigers, a provocative response to Amy Chua’s Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Learn more about Yang’s thought-provoking and controversial perspective on Asian stereotypes and the dynamics of the “bamboo ceiling,” and share your viewpoint in a lively discussion.

A cocktail reception, kicking-off our new Young Professionals’ Network will follow. Discover artists from across the United States, China, and South Korea through ArtGate Gallery’s Summer Kaleidoscope exhibition, and socialize over Korean-inspired hors d’oeuvres and trendy tea-infused cocktails from Tavalon.
