DESCRIPTION:June 17-20, 8pm; June 21, 3pm\n\nCIRCUIT NETWORK is proud to announce the 
 WORLD PREMIERE of Kristina Wong's new show "THE WONG STREET JOURNAL" 
 WEDNESDAY JUNE 17 - SUNDAY JUNE 21 at Z BELOW. How did a 
 not-so-white-savior from San Francisco become a Northern Uganda hip hop 
 legend?  Watch this irreverent travelogue, one you'd never see on PBS, play 
 out in an all-felt version of the New York Stock Exchange sewed by Wong 
 herself.\n\nPart plushy TED lecture, part amateur hip-hop extravaganza, and 
 part travelogue, The Wong Street Journal breaks down the complexities of 
 global poverty, privilege and economic theory using uneasy-to-read charts, 
 live hashtag wars, and riveting slideshows from post-conflict Northern 
 Uganda.  Wong tells the story of how she, as a not-so-white savior, became 
 a hip-hop star in Northern Uganda.\n\nSan Francisco native Kristina Wong 
 has been a guest on "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell," Al Jazeera's "The 
 Stream" and Huffington Post Live.  She has also been a commentator for 
 American Public Media's Marketplace, PBS, Jezebel, xoJane, Playgirl 
 Magazine and featured in The New York Times "Off Color" series.  Kristina 
 spent a month in Northern Uganda researching the show and recording a rap 
 album called "Mzungu Price" with local rappers.\n\n"Brutal but 
 hilarious...a woman who takes life's absurdities very seriously." -  EAST 
 BAY EXPRESS\n\n"Cultural critic, writer, blogger, performance artist and 
 comedian Kristina Wong has made a career out of revealing just how lazy and 
 offensive racist and sexist stereotypes are, particularly those relating to 
 Asian women." - ALTERNET'S 10 BEST MOMENTS IN POLITICAL COMEDY\n
