A Different POV: Latino and Asian America in Cinema and New Media<\/p><\/div>\n

From Hollywood to the Internet, Asian and Latino American communities continue to be shaped and reshaped by visual media. What does the future hold? The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program and the Smithsonian Latino Center<\/a> host a conversation about the history, present and future of Asian and Latino America through cinema and new media.<\/p>\n

Film scholar Dr. Charles Ram\u00edrez Berg (University of Texas at Austin) will present an illustrated history of ethnic stereotypes and the efforts of actors and playwrights to subvert and resist them. Internet scholar Dr. Lisa Nakamura (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) will discuss the racial and ethnic assumptions embedded in the representations of race in digital media, particularly in gaming cultures. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Konrad Ng, new media scholar and Director of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program.<\/p>\n
