Description

This event has been moved from the Multi-Purpose Room to the 4th Floor Meeting Room. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

Giant Robot was a bimonthly magazine that created an appetite for Asian and Asian American pop culture, exploring Sawtelle Boulevard as a Japanese American enclave. Founded in 1994 and driven by Eric Nakamura and Martin Wong, it resulted in a legacy of Asian American artists that achieved worldwide recognition such as David Choe and James Jean. 

Following the film, there will be a Q&A with Giant Robot founders Eric Nakamura and Martin Wong.

This 60-minute documentary is unrated.

This event is part of the KYLYN APIA Arts and Culture Festival.
