"Our Vibrant AAPI Community: Selections from the Houston Asian American Archive" Exhibit Grand Opening In-Person
Join the Houston Public Library to celebrate the opening of the exhibit "Our Vibrant AAPI Community: Selections from the Houston Asian American Archive" on display at JIB Gallery from January 19, 2023, to June 3, 2023.
The lives of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in Houston are woven intimately into the history of the larger metropolis. Asian Americans first settled in the Bayou City and its vicinity in the early twentieth century, and the community grew substantially after the relaxation of the immigration law in 1965. The archival materials displayed in this room represent a sampling of the richness of our experiences, offering a panoramic view of Houston's AAPI world.
This exhibit is partnership with the Houston Asian American Archive and the Woodson Research Center of Rice University. For more information about The Houston Asian American Archive, please visit https://haaa.rice.edu/
This event is FREE and open to the public. Registration is encouraged to help the organizers in the planning of the reception.
