Ping Chong's work explores interdisciplinary art as an avenue for social change through the intersection of race, culture, history, art and technology in the modern world. Recipient of a 2014 National Medal of Art, he is acclaimed for bringing unheard voices to the stage and for creating art that addresses issues of inequality, equity, and social justice with beauty and precision. In this presentation Ping Chong will discuss the evolution of this interdisciplinary approach to theater in relationship to changes in contemporary arts and culture over the last 40 years using illustrations from his work.
