Q&A Discussion
1:03:55

From Hollywood to the Internet, Asian and Latino American communities continue to be shaped and reshaped by visual media. What does the future hold? The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program and the Smithsonian Latino Center host a conversation about the history, present and future of Asian and Latino America through cinema and new media.

Film scholar Dr. Charles Ramírez Berg (University of Texas at Austin) presented an illustrated history of ethnic stereotypes and the efforts of actors and playwrights to subvert and resist them. Internet scholar Dr. Lisa Nakamura (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) discussed the racial and ethnic assumptions embedded in the representations of race in digital media, particularly in gaming cultures.

The conversation wraps up with Q&A moderated by Dr. Konrad Ng, new media scholar and Director of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program.
