Parallel Stories
This fall, join the Santa Barbara Museum of Art for Parallel Stories—a series of discussions stemming from the Museum’s extensive and exceptional Asian Art Collection spanning 5,000 years with over 3,600 objects. The series invites us to reimagine and reframe some of the histories, traditions and stories contained in the collection.
To do this, we turn to three contemporary authors—M. Lin, Divya Victor, and Karen Tei Yamashita—who write stories that are both deeply felt and impeccably researched, through a hybrid lens of experience, history, and imagination. This series is a collaboration with The Asian American Studies Department of UCSB. Sameer Pandya, Chairman of the Department and author of the award winning The Blind Writer, Members Only, and Our Beautiful Boys, will facilitate the conversations.
M Lin, The Memory Museum
Stretching from the present to the future, from China to America and beyond, M Lin’s piercing debut collection depicts characters finding beauty amidst the disorientation of migration, the contradictions of living between cultures, the perverse realities of race and class, and the delicate dance between survival and resistance.
Brimming with joy, insight, and emotional power, The Memory Museum unveils M Lin as an irresistible new talent with fearless political and stylistic imagination.
