"This Is Terrible, This Is Wonderful": Postpartum Zine Workshop
Joseph Tseng's "Shanghai: An American Story" Performance
This event is over, it happened on
May 17, 2026 at Local Economy in Oakland, CA
Local Economy, Oakland, California
Shanghai: An American Story is more than just an album, it’s a story told through music about identity, family, and where we come from.
Have you ever been asked, “Where are you really from?” This project explores that question in a thoughtful and creative way. It looks at what it means to be (fill in the blank)-American, and why that hyphen matters. Is anyone truly “just American”? And what is lost when we de-hyphenate and dissociate ourselves from motherlands and lineal histories? And what might we learn about America and ourselves from the perspective of our mother cities?
Join us for an evening of art and community as Joseph Tseng shares songs from his latest project through a mix of acoustic performances, storytelling, and previews of unreleased tracks.

Inside, most things are organized around a long central table where talks, workshops, book clubs and game sessions all happen in close quarters. more...
