Council District
City Council District 3
Join the discussion by reading Interior Chinatown, a novel by Charles Yu. Willis Wu does not perceive himself as the protagonist in his own life; he is merely a Generic Asian Man. Sometimes, he gets to be Background Oriental, Making a Weird Face, or even Disgraced Son, but he is always relegated to a prop.

Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Month as we discuss Charles Yu’s novel Interior Chinatown and link the theme of the book with a relaxing craft/journaling activity. Free copies of the novel will be given to the first ten participants.

Descanse en Paz: Memorial Paintings from 19th-Century Mexico

This exhibition highlights two popular genres of 19th-century Mexican painting commemorating family members who no longer reside in the household— offering them a lasting presence in the home. The first intimately portrays deceased individuals in likenesses imbued with grief and tender remembrance. The second genre is the uniquely Mexican monja Coronado or “crowned nun” portrait. Images of flowers adorned Brides of Christ were commissioned by the families of women who took Catholic ecclesiastical vows and permanently embarked on cloistered lives.
