Salon Series Presents Ada Cheng's Solo Performance

Salon Series at Evanston Art Center, curated by Carol Solberg Moss, is excited to present Ada Cheng's second solo performance Breaking Rules, Broken Hearts: Loving across Borders.

This performance tackles issues on gender, culture, and feminism. I explore how one learns about love and abuse across borders. The materials are pertinent to current debates on gender equality.
