The Kansas City Kansas Community College Art Gallery is hosting a celebration of South Asian culture through art, dance, and classical music from the sub-continent of India in celebration of its exhibition opening reception for 'Adapted/Adopted: Journey of Asianx Women Artists' on October 27, Thursday from 4:30 to 7:30 pm. Located in the Art Gallery and the Jewel Center on the KCKCC campus. The event is free and open to the public.
The exhibition is on display from Oct. 17 to Dec. 9; please email sperry@kckcc.edu to schedule your tour. 
Curator Karlota Contreras-Koterbay, Director of Slocumb Galleries & Midsouth Sculpture Alliance Board member will speak about the complex and often understudied struggles of Asian women as they adapt to mainstream American culture. The exhibition features six Asian American women artists who employ art as an adaptation strategy in their plight to reinvestigate their hybrid identities as they seek belonging and visibility in their new home country in the U.S. Some of the artists also address the adoption phenomenon of children of Asian descent being transnationally relocated and raised in American families, visualizing memories and opportunities as vital issues.
