5 p.m. In conjunction with the 12th Annual Asian American Showcase, DePaul's Asian American Studies Program is pleased to present the following talk about Asian America's influence on popular culture and art. "Attack of the Giant Robot" |

|||||||||
From movie stars, musicians, and skateboarders to toys, technology, and history, Giant Robot Magazine covers cool aspects of Asian and Asian American pop culture. In 1994, Eric Nakamura and Martin Wong launched the publication with no budget, no bureaucratic meetings, and no excuses to anyone. Demonstrating know-how and attitude from the coeditors' punk-rock zine background, the first Giant Robot was a stapled and photocopied digest in an edition of 240. Since then, it has grown more than 100 times larger, gaining accolades as one of the best zines from the L.A. Weekly, L.A. New Times, Wired and Zine Guide as it tackles magazine racks around the world.

A Solo Performance Wednesday, April 11, 2007 |
||||||||||
Initially an exploration of the sky high incidence of mental illness among Asian American women, incisive writer and performer Kristina Wong mixes sharp humor and shaky psychology in Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a semi-autobiographical, serio-comic quest for a cheap fix to eradicate depression, anxiety and all-out neuroses. What came first? The chicken or the egg? Asian American women offing themselves en masse or the maddening world? Wong's irreverent and provocative work has given her a national cult following for "politically charged art with unapologetic humor.” -Bitch Magazine |
