After School 課後 Book Talk and Lecture-Performance with Angela Chen | May 21, 2026, 7-8:30 PM



Join artist and writer Angela Chen at Bungee Space for a participatory lecture-performance and reading of her debut text-image book After School 課後

After School brings together autobiography, photographs, collage, and archival documents to tell the story of my family’s struggle to run Futurelink, a 補習班, or after school program, in the San Gabriel Valley, CA. More broadly, it explores the complex role of after schools (known as cram schools) in Asian American enclaves, as they operate simultaneously as spaces of community, care, and control.

Attendees will receive a free copy of Chen's offshoot publication, the After School Workbook, to fill out and take home.
