We welcome students from our community, whether you formally or informally identify as Asian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander, to this Alum Artist Book reading of Microaggressions, with Maggie (Yi Chun) Cheng.

Maggie (Yi Chun) Cheng (BFA 2018) will present and reading from her 2018 photography collection: Microaggressions. Maggie’s book, featured in the BFA Spring 2018 show, uses photo to depict her experiences around microaggressions with regards to her racial identity. Maggie’s work addresses racial stereotypes and the intersection with gender identity and cultural standards of beauty. Using this body of work, Maggie’s narrative is relatable, timely, and personal. Maggie’s story will serve as the backdrop for a larger conversation about how we can all dismantle microaggressions.

Microaggressions: Subtle comments & actions that are often well-intentioned but are harmful in nature, reveal underlying biases, and reinforce stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. (See Lesson: Stereotype, Prejudice, and Discimination).
