Torn Book Discussion - Brea Gallery
February 22, 2026
Looking for a deeper dive into the themes and context surrounding this socially and emotionally engaged exhibition?
Join us on Sunday, Feb. 22 to hear Duke University professor Anna Storti Ph.D discuss her upcoming book, Torn: Asian/white Life and the Intimacy of Violence, an investigation into the political and affective tensions that surround mixed race identity and interracial desire. Torn raises Asian/white life as the representative case study to examine a familiar narrative of inner strife—that being of two distinct racial histories is to be rendered a body in tension, torn between ancestral lineages. Rather than refute this stance, Storti traverses an ever-growing archive of aesthetic, literary, and cultural portrayals of Asian/white racial mixture, showing how people of mixed race either refuse, rework, or reify the politics of US multiracialism.
This event is formatted with a loose and open structure. Visitors are welcome to drop-in any time between 12 and 5 PM to talk openly with Dr. Storti about the overlapping topics in Torn and Mixed Feelings.
