SUMMARY:A Plot of One's Own
DESCRIPTION:A Plot of One’s Own 一亩三分地 presents extraordinary contributions from ten Chinese diasporic artists alongside the Chinese American Museum of Chicago’s research and archives. Through artworks that span painting\, drawing\, photography\, printmaking\, sculpture\, installation\, artist’s books\, video\, cartography\, multimedia and living installation\, this exhibition reflects on the beauty and savvy behind the “farm-gardens” seen all around Chicago’s Chinatown and Chinese American communities across the diaspora. \nWhile the pop-culture lens of an American Chinatown is defined by dragons\, pagodas\, and red-lacquered replicas of Chinese-ness meant as a transportative portal to the Far East of the American imagination\, this group exhibition refocuses our gaze with a look into an oft-overlooked (yet ubiquitous) cultural phenomenon of spontaneous domestic farming and guerilla gardens.  \nDespite a lack of green space in many urban environments\, the presence of fresh produce and backyard jungles are nevertheless a defining marker of Chinese communities around the world. Contextualized by archival materials and artifacts from the CAMOC Collection\, the artworks of Andy Chan\, Yi Cynthia Chen\, Mel Chin\, Jenie Gao\, Xingyu Huang\, Mari Miller\, Hương Ngô\, Stephanie H. Shih\, Connie Zheng\, and Yu-Wen Wu invite a multi-faceted exploration of the intimate relationship between these gardens with land use\, food sovereignty\, civic planning\, globalization\, neighborhood ecosystems\, memory\, and the many versions we make of house and home. \nA Plot of One’s Own 一亩三分地 will show at CAMOC | Chinese American Museum of Chicago September 19\, 2026 – August 31\, 2027  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm \n\nAndy Hoi-Csiu Chan\nYi Cynthia Chen\nMel Chin\nJenie Gao\nXingyu Huang\nMari Miller\nHương Ngô\nStephanie H. Shih\nConnie Zheng\nYu-Wen Wu

SUMMARY:Author Talk: “Migrant Heart” by Reyna Grande (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illuminating conversation streamed live from the AWM with writers Reyna Grande and Erika L. Sánchez. The two bestselling authors sit down to discuss Grande’s new book Migrant Heart: Essays About Things I Can’t Forget\, an ambitious memoir in essays that illuminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and the complex journey of healing that follows survival. \nThis is the livestream of an in person program at the American Writers Museum. When you register for this event\, you will receive access to the livestream link. If you would like to attend the program in person at the AWM\, get your tickets here. \nMore about Migrant Heart: \nWhat is the true power of stories? Can they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of telling the story worth the price of the cure? \nReyna Grande has spent her career capturing the raw reality of life across borders. In this intricate and deeply intimate memoir-in-essays\, the author of the landmark memoirs The Distance Between Us and A Dream Called Home again turns her gaze inward to explore the scars left by migration and the ongoing work of stitching herself back together. \nWith her signature blend of sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande interrogates how living between two nations\, two languages\, and two identities has shaped the woman\, mother\, and writer she has become. Moving from the legacy of violence in her hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bittersweet family vacation in Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished past with her children’s world of abundance\, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of survival. \nWhether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderlands or finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden\, Grande unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we have become? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to define us\, how can we use story to heal while still honoring our boundaries? \nMigrant Heart is a powerful testament to Grande’s role as a storyteller and cultural witness. It expands our understanding of life in the United States and the complex people who cross and live within its borders. It is an essential read for the seekers\, the dreamers\, and anyone who believes in the enduring\, transformative power of finding one’s voice. \n\n\n\n\nPraise for Migrant Heart:\n\n\n\n“Migrant Heart is the exact book I needed during this tumultuous time. These essays should be taught across the country. Reyna’s stories of surviving and thriving as a Brown woman in the United States are seamlessly told through her sharp\, vibrant prose. This is a book I will return to again and again.” —Erika L. Sánchez\, New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter and Crying in the Bathroom \n“With heart and verve\, and her own particular candor\, so warm like a sun\, Reyna Grande writes about writing\, memory\, the Ayotzinapa 43\, the cruelties of the border\, menopause\, slug sex\, and queen bees. I love Reyna’s way of seeing the world. These essays are heart-big.” —Ingrid Rojas Contreras\, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Man Who Could Move Clouds \n“Migrant Heart is deep\, gorgeous\, and full of unexpected chambers that will by turns unsettle you\, infuriate you\, comfort you\, and\, if you let them\, heal you. And while much darkness lies in many of these essays—of human nature\, of life\, of our nation—ultimately\, they are illuminated with love.” —Xóchitl González\, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming \n\n\n\nREYNA GRANDE is an award-winning author whose work powerfully illuminates the complexities of immigration\, family separation\, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Born in Mexico\, Grande embarked on a perilous journey to the U.S. at age nine to reunite with her parents—a defining experience that fuels her writing. Breaking generational barriers\, she became the first in her family to graduate from college\, earning a BA from UC Santa Cruz and an MFA from Antioch University.\n\n\n\nHer diverse body of work includes her celebrated memoirs\, The Distance Between Us and A Dream Called Home\, and the novels Across a Hundred Mountains\, Dancing with Butterflies\, and the historical epic A Ballad of Love and Glory. She amplifies undocumented voices as co-editor of Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Immigration\, Survival\, and New Beginnings. She has earned numerous accolades\, such as the American Book Award\, the Premio Aztlan Literary Award\, the Luis Leal Award\, and the Hummingbird Award in Literary Arts. Her most recent book\, Migrant Heart: Essays About Things I Can’t Forget\, was published in English and Spanish in May 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nERIKA L. SÁNCHEZ is the daughter of Mexican immigrants. Her debut poetry collection\, Lessons on Expulsion\, was a finalist for the PEN America Open Book Award. Her debut young adult novel\, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter was a #1 New York Times bestseller\, a National Book Awards finalist\, and Tomás Rivera Award winner. Time has recognized it as one of the best YA novels of all time. It is now is being made into a MGM Orion film directed by America Ferrera. She is an executive producer on the project. I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter has also been adapted to the theater at Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago\, Seattle Rep Theater\, Greenway Court Theater in Los Angeles\, and Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Also\, her novel has been banned across the country due to its “controversial” themes. Most recently\, Sánchez published a critically acclaimed memoir-in-essays titled Crying in the Bathroom with Viking Books. It won the Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction award and has been optioned for television. Sánchez was a Fulbright Scholar\, a Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent fellow from the Poetry Foundation\, a Princeton Arts Fellow\, a recipient of the 21st Century Award from the Chicago Public Library Foundation\, and a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in poetry.
