SUMMARY:APIDA Hip Hop Scholars Webinar Series: Filipino Americans in Hip Hop (2 of 4)
DESCRIPTION:APIDA Hip Hop Scholars Webinar Series: Filipino Americans in Hip Hop \nJoin the Asian American Education Project for our workshop series\, APIDA Hip Hop Scholars Webinars.\n​​In this second webinar\, we will be joined by Mark R.

His book\, Manifest Technique: Hip Hop\, Empire\, and Visionary Filipino American Culture (University of Illinois Press\, 2021)\, examines Filipino Americans’ decades-long commitment to crafting\, worldmaking\, and collaborating in hip hop culture.

SUMMARY:MOCA Video: Day With(out) Art 2024: Red Reminds Me...
DESCRIPTION:Day With(out) Art is a global event\, screening in over 150 institutions and 27 countries. MOCA is proud to partner this year.\n\n\nContinuing the LGBTQ AANHPI Program Series\, the Museum of Chinese in America is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2024 by presenting Red Reminds Me…\, a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. \nRed Reminds Me… will feature newly commissioned videos by Gian Cruz (Philippines)\, Milko Delgado (Panama)\, Imani Maryahm Harrington (USA)\, David Oscar Harvey (USA)\, Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia)\, Nixie (Belgium)\, Vasilios Papapitsios (USA). \nThrough the red ribbon and other visuals\, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood\, pain\, tragedy\, and anger. Red Reminds Me… invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV\, from eroticism and intimacy\, mothering and kinship\, luck and chance\, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody\, melodrama\, theater\, irony\, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today. \nThe title is drawn from the words of Stacy Jennings\, an activist\, poet\, and long-term survivor with HIV\, who writes: “Red reminds me\, red reminds me\, red reminds me…to be free.”* Linking “red” to freedom\, Jennings flips the usual connotations of the color and offers a new way of thinking about the complexity of living with HIV. Just as a prism bends and refracts light\, Red Reminds Me…\, expands the emotional spectrum of living with HIV. It shows us that while grief\, tragedy\, and anger define parts of the epidemic\, the full picture contains deeper\, nuanced\, and sometimes contradictory feelings. \nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \n*Jennings recites this poem in the video Here We Are: Voices of Black Women Who Live with HIV\, created by Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes for Day With(out) Art 2022: Being and Belonging. \n  \nVideo Synopses\nGian Cruz\, Dear Kwong Chi \nIn Dear Kwong Chi\, Cruz creates a video letter to the late artist Tseng Kwong Chi\, drawing from the experience of living with HIV in diaspora. Across continents and decades\, Kwong Chi’s legacy acts as an anchor for Cruz amongst limited representations of Asian narratives in AIDS histories. \nMilko Delgado\, El Club del SIDA \nTaking its title from a sensational telenovela episode\, El Club del SIDA cycles through a lifetime of heavily stigmatizing images about HIV and AIDS. Delgado plays with multiple aesthetics—documentary\, horror\, comedy—to explore the various relationships he has had with AIDS over the course of his life. \nImani Maryahm Harrington\, Realms Remix \nThrough a collage of poetry and archival images\, Realms Remix traces memories and sensations of an AIDS past that continue to haunt the present. \nDavid Oscar Harvey\, Ambivalence: On HIV & Luck \nAmbivalence: On HIV & Luck tackles the disorienting experience of existing with a manageable condition that our present culture insists on representing in terms of its bleak past. Interested in figuring HIV differently\, the film presents a series of visual puns merging the iconography of HIV and AIDS with popular symbols of luck. \nMariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar\, El VIH se enamoró de mi (HIV Fell in Love With Me) \nHIV Fell in Love With Me tells the story of a woman with HIV embracing her sexuality and reconnecting with her pleasure. Filmed with an erotic aesthetic\, the video reflects a pursuit towards sexual justice and autonomy for women living with HIV. \nNixie\, it’s giving \nThrough home videos\, archival footage and textile landscapes\, it’s giving explores various forms of family across time. The artist’s domestic life is paired with archival video of queer and trans chosen families mirroring small acts of joy\, resistance\, and sustenance. What does it mean for an HIV+ person\, who carries the history and present of the AIDS-crisis in their DNA\, to foster new life? \nVasilios Papapitsios\, LUCID NIGHTMARE \nPapapitsios describes LUCID NIGHTMARE as a “meditation on how we can(not) heal in the environments that make us sick\, from the perspective of an infected neurodivergent faggot.” Combining auto-fiction with magical realism\, Papapitsios humorously reimagines narratives around mental health and chronic illness. \nArtist Biographies\nGian Cruz (he/him) is a Filipino artist\, researcher\, and arts worker. His artistic practice is rooted in photography\, art theory\, and criticism and intersects with cinema\, performance\, and HIV/AIDS activism within Southeast Asian frameworks.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Amanda Lee Koe with Zoë Chao: Sister Snake
DESCRIPTION:Writer Amanda Lee Koe joins us to discuss her new book\, Sister Snake\, with Actress Zoë Chao. \nA glittering\, bold\, darkly funny novel about two sisters—one in New York\, one in Singapore—who are bound by an ancient secret \nSisterhood is difficult for Su and Emerald. Su leads a sheltered\, moneyed life as the picture-perfect wife of a conservative politician in Singapore. Emerald is a nihilistic sugar baby in New York\, living from whim to whim and using her charms to make ends meet. But they share a secret: once\, they were snakes\, basking under a full moon in Tang dynasty China. \nA thousand years later\, their mysterious history is the only thing still binding them together. When Emerald experiences a violent encounter in Central Park and Su boards the next flight to New York\, the two reach a tenuous reconciliation for the first time in decades. Su convinces Emerald to move to Singapore so she can keep an eye on her—but she soon begins to worry that Emerald’s irrepressible behavior will out them both\, in a sparkling\, affluent city where everything runs like clockwork and any deviation from the norm is automatically suspect. \nRazor-sharp\, hilarious\, and raw in emotion\, Sister Snake explores chosen family\, queerness\, passing\, and the struggle against conformity. Reimagining the Chinese folktale “The Legend of the White Snake\,” this is a novel about being seen for who you are—and\, ultimately\, how to live free. \nAt this event\, Amanda Lee Koe will discuss her new book with Zoë Chao \nTo join the event in person | Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins. For free events\, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance\, but registration does not guarantee admission.

Amanda has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, PEN America\, the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program\, the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program\, the National Arts Council of Singapore\, and the Fóndation Jan Michalski.

SUMMARY:Ginko Okazaki: a Japanese American Novelist in an Age of Ultranationalism
DESCRIPTION:This panel presentation introduces an ongoing project to recover and translate the Japanese-language writings of the Issei novelist and teacher Ginko Okazaki (pen-name of Masue Shinozaki Orimo\, 1895-1973). Ginko was part of a cohort of highly educated Japanese women who emigrated to the United States in the 1920s. She is best known for her publication of the novel Soil of Salinas (サリナスの土\, currently in draft translation by Stephen Kohl\, professor emeritus\, University of Oregon). Originally written in the 1930s\, the Soil of Salinas manuscript was lost during World War II. After the war\, Ginko rewrote the novel from recovered notes and published it in 1967. \nAlan K. Ota\, nephew of Ginko’s daughter\, will present on how the study of Ginko’s life and work may offer insights to aspiring artists\, activists\, and teachers as they confront new forms of oppression and ultranationalism in the 21st century. Andrew Way Leong (UC Berkeley) will present on the ongoing work involved in bringing Ginko’s work to a contemporary English-language readership. Talk will feature a pre-recorded reading by Sophie Oda\, great-granddaughter of Ginko Ozaki\, of a short excerpt from Soil of Salinas.
