Innovators in Conversation with Nancy Yao Maasbach
A 5-alarm fire, “Kung-flu,” Anti-Asian American racism, and Black Lives Matter have been unprecedented and major triggers in 2020, the Year of the Metal Rat on the Chinese zodiac calendar, for the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA). These triggers have catalyzed a renewed resolve for MOCA as it reflects on 40 years of conscience within its contribution to the American narrative. Why are Asian Americans viewed as perpetual foreigners? Where do “yellow” people fall in America’s mosaic? What does true allyship look like? How do you tell the stories of a complex history when the American proclivity is to generalize, stereotype, and homogenize? In this talk, Nancy will share thoughts on equity in arts funding, the sustainability of small but vital cultural institutions, and volatility on the road to conscience.
Nancy Yao Maasbach is President of the Museum of Chinese in America.
