Ada Cheng is a storyteller and a solo performer. She was a tenured professor in sociology at DePaul University, a job she left to pursue storytelling and performance full time.
In this performance, she will explore major themes: the meanings of home(land), racial profiling and the image of the perpetual foreigner, and anti-Asian racism under the pandemic. Her performance will be followed by a facilitated dialogue.
This program is scheduled to be presented in-person at the library. If necessary, it will be switched to Zoom.

The 1501 Ellinwood Street library building is the realization of a longheld dream of the library board, staff and community partners. Located in the heart of downtown Des Plaines, the four story, 82,000 square foot building represents the community's commitment to reading, lifelong learning, and a center for family activities. A grand central staircase and large windows provide a wealth of natural light and illuminate the building at night.
