For my friends in NY: I will be speaking as a panelist on an upcoming event this Saturday! The subject is something I have often chatted about with various friends: what does it mean for those of us who have had a bicultural upbringing? Do we identify with the East or West? Are there differences and similarities? What do we identify with, and when?
Whether you are an immigrant with time spent in two places (like me), a child of mixed-race marriage, or an expat who has spent significant time in another country, I think there is something common in all of us - a part of our soul is straddling two places, having an ongoing internal dialogue, and hoping to build bridges within and through ourselves. This event will be a commingle that seeks to gather kindred spirits to talk about our experiences. Hoping to see you there!
紐約的朋友們：本週六，我將在曼哈頓參加一個座談會，與在場的來賓和觀眾們一起聊文化、藝術、和紐約／台灣之間的生活：
在東西方兩個文化之間生活的我們，是如何看待自己的？我們什麼時候認同於東方，什麼時候又覺得自己比較像西方人？
無論你像我一樣是第一代移民、或是混血、或是在異鄉工作的expat，我想都能體會那種內心的思索和對話，以及那希望在不同的「家」之間搭起橋樑的渴望...
這是一個很隨性、很casual，任何人都歡迎來的 “commingle” 社交座談會。我和其他講者除了自己的分享外，也希望與志同道合的朋友們互相認識交流。歡迎你告訴紐約市的朋友們，請按以下的活動訊息連結可以了解更多，也可以線上報名。到時候見！
