Writer, filmmaker, and former NBC Universal executive Paula Williams Madison shares the personal journey of seeking her Chinese grandfather's descendants in China, as told in her acclaimed book and film, Finding Samuel Lowe. The Harlem native, whose parents hail from Jamaica, discusses the fascinating history of Chinese artists of Caribbean descent and Caribbean artists of African descent presented in the exhibition Circles and Circuits I: History and Art of the Chinese Caribbean Diaspora, a partnership with the Chinese American Museum (CAM). Madison, a past board member of the Friends of CAAM and a present board member of CAM, works to build relationships across these communities.
