If you’re in Seattle tonight, drop by The Wing Luke Asian Museum for the opening reception for artist Roger Shimomura and his new show, “Yellow Terror.”
The free public reception starts at 7 p.m. at the museum, located at 719 S. King St.
If you can’t make the reception, the show will open Friday and run through April 18.
Shimomura, a third-generation Japanese American, deals with stereotypes and how people perceive race. One central theme of the show is ”Always a Foreigner.”
