By What Means and What Measure

A reading and panel discussion with artist Daniel Shieh, poet Chia-Lun Chang, and authors Lisa Hsiao Chen and Ly Tran.

Daniel Shieh and Chia-Lun Chang met as LMCC artists in residence at The Arts Center on Governors Island in 2021 and worked together on the exhibition Where Time Runs Backwards currently on view at The Arts Center at Governors Island. Chia-Lun will read a poem written in response to Daniel’s exhibited sculptures and invite Lisa Hsiao Chen and Ly Tran to read excerpts from their work which touch on their personal experiences of how time and memory pass between generations of immigrant families.

The four artists and writers will engage in conversation about how their diaspora experiences and political situations have informed their practice.
