In conjunction with the current exhibition, “Pretty Hurts” which features new works by artist, Phung Huynh, CB1 Gallery will host a panel discussion about uncovering the complicated issues related to Asian female bodies and plastic surgery. The panel will present probing conversations about body image, patriarchy, colonialism, popular culture, and social media as critical markers in how beauty is constructed and to what lengths women will go to subject their bodies to be reconstructed.
The moderator for the panel discussion is Annie Buckley (artist, writer, curator, and Associate Professor of Visual Studies at California State University, San Bernardino); and the panelists include Evonne Gallardo (Arts and Culture Consultant), Phung Huynh (artist and Associate Professor of Art at Los Angeles Valley College), Tiffany Lanoix (Associate Professor of Sociology at West Los Angeles College), and Jennifer Lynne Musto (Assistant Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College).
