Traced through the artist\u2019s explorations of queer sex, racial and sexual representation, illness, and kinship, these videos center queer Asian diasporic experience against an ever-shifting backdrop of colonialism and political change. Revisiting these bold and imaginative works allow us to reflect on the power of memory and the queer imagination amidst current narratives surrounding representation, cultural assimilation, and sexual politics. The screening will be followed by a moderated panel discussion featuring scholars and community activists based in NYC.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyu-apastudies.org\/2012\/event\/streams-of-desire-the-video-work-of-richard-fung-program-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.nyu-apastudies.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Streams of Desire is co-presented by CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies and the Asian\/Pacific\/American Institute at NYU and will be the first of two video programs organized in anticipation of Richard Fung\u2019s Kessler Award lecture on December 16, presented by CLAGS.
