The Ping Chong Archival Symposium will be a full day gathering exploring the archive and artistic legacy of the visionary artist and Pink Fang Artistic Director Emertius, Ping Chong.

This free, public event on December 6th marks a pivotal collaboration between Pink Fang and Hunter College Theatre Department, a semester-long partnership that includes a co-taught course called Multicultural Theatre Performance: Engaging Community Voices and Stories, class visits, an Artist Lunch for students with Ping Chong, a theater workshop available to the entire Hunter College community, and public screenings of Ping Chong’s archival works followed by talk-backs.

The day-long symposium event will bring together artists, scholars, students, and the public for conversation, panels, artistic activations,  and a celebratory reception, illuminating the impact, evolution and future of Chong’s groundbreaking interdisciplinary practice that has transformed the landscape of performance in America and beyond.
