Description
Original program notes: Next of Kin: The Wong Family | Flo, Nellie and William Wong | Sun May 19 1996 Families are among the most important places where traditions are taught, challenged and rethought. The first of HCA’s series examining how creativity is passed on and transformed by family members will focus on visual artist Flo Oy Wong, poet/activist Nellie Wong and journalist William Wong. Raised in Oakland’s Chinatown, these siblings have all recently journeyed to their parents’ village in China. Art historian (and friend) Moira Roth will moderate a discussion exploring the social, political and cultural dimensions of family and community in the Wong family’s work. Moira Roth, writer and activist, is the author of many articles and editor of The Amazing Decade: Women and Performance Art in America, and Connecting Conversations: Interviews with 28 Bay Area Women Artists.

She is the author of two collections of poetry, Dreams in Harrison Railroad Park and The Death of Long Steam Lady.
