San Francisco Artist Thomas Chang presents photography made at the Angel Island Immigration Station in an exhibition at Lisa Dent Gallery. Chang has volunteered as a docent and led interpretive tours for the public at Angel Island Immigration Station. In his photographs, he employs a style that mimics "historic" photography, as way to look at how history, immigration, and ethnicity have been constructed and were once portrayed at the Immigration Station site before the site went through the current restoration efforts.
