The Library of Congress Presents “Hidden Portals” with Innovator in Residence Jeffrey Yoo Warren

Join an exciting discussion with artist Jeffrey Yoo Warren presented by the Library of Congress on Sunday, August 4th 12pm, at Regal Union Square. Library of Congress Innovator in Residence Jeffrey Yoo Warren will discuss his research and collaborative artistic practice to create virtual reconstructions of destroyed historic Asian American neighborhoods using maps, photographs, and other items from local and Library archives.

Beyond spatial reconstruction, Yoo Warren’s work serves to honor and support deeper understanding of these communities and what their stories mean for contemporary Asian Americans. After the presentation, the artist will be joined in conversation with Roswell Encina, Library of Congress Chief Communications Officer. The event is free to attend.
