Asian Images is an event that showcases alternative careers in the media as well as the different types of media available. This year, we are focusing on spoken word and hip-hop by inviting Alvin Lau and Magnetic North to perform their works and discuss their experience in their particular industry. Come listen to their pieces and personally ask them any questions you like. This is a chance to really get to know them outside of a performance setting.
