The Making of Asian American Magazines

The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) cordially invites you to an insightful discussion on the creation and evolution of Asian American magazines with the founders and editors behind some of the most influential publications: Melissa Hung of Hyphen, Lakán Angelo Ragaza of A. Magazine, Tommy Tam of YOLK, and Larry Tazuma of KoreAm and YOLK. These pioneers will share their experiences and challenges in launching and sustaining culturally specific publications in a pre-internet era, where ethnic media served as crucial platforms for representation and community building. The conversation will be moderated by acclaimed writer and editor Camille Bromley.
