- Virtual Event - Final Bow for Yellowface: Asian Representation in Classical Ballet and Beyond
Houghton Library welcomed Georgina Pazcoguin and Phil Chan for an evening event about their efforts to question and reform outdated representations of Asians in ballet performances. The "Final Bow for Yellowface" project they co-founded aims to make ballet more inclusive by eliminating offensive stereotypes of Asians and, more broadly, challenges organizations to forthrightly address the legacy of Orientalism in the performing arts. The presentation was followed by a panel discussion with Harvard University Professor Ju Yon Kim and Harvard Theatre Collection Curator Matthew Wittmann.
Sponsored by Houghton Library, Harvard University. This event was recorded via Zoom on December 1, 2020.
