After School 課後
Angela Chen
Angela Chen’s image-text book After School 課後 brings together autobiography, photographs, collage, and archival documents to unpack the culture of buxiban (after school tutoring centers) in predominantly East Asian communities in the San Gabriel Valley, CA. It tells the story of her family’s struggle to run Futurelink, a buxiban business, against the historical backdrop of anti-Asian discrimination and considers the after school as a paradoxical space of discipline and care, assimilation and cultural preservation, competition and community.
