SUMMARY:YELLOW: An Open Mic Centering Asian Voices
DESCRIPTION:YELLOW is a monthly open mic centering Asian voices. Zoom TBA.\n\n\n“In the West\, yellow’s unsavory status went back centuries…The color grew to represent envy\, jealousy…duplicity…and cowardice. \nYellow was a contemptible color in the Western imagination\, and it fit snugly with the Western idea of the Oriental human being\, especially as he became a threat first to the American workingman\, then to the chaste American woman\, and finally to Western civilization itself. \n– Excerpts from “Big Little Man” by Alex Tizon \n  \nFor Asians\, yellow represents soil & earth\, life\, resistance\, courage\, rebirth\, revolution\, & unity. \nWe are reclaiming and rewriting all narratives that undermine the richness and complexity of Asian individuals\, cultures\, traditions\, & longing. Join us in amplifying and celebrating Asian heritage with song\, dance\, poetry\, performance\, & discourse. \nFor a peek into the power & creativity of some of our Asian artists\, delight in our gift bag from CommemorASIAN: Shame is Not Ours to Keep (performances are marked in the caption). \nThere is no need to sign up to perform. Anyone can perform as long as they are amplifying Asian voices\, artists\, & experiences. A list of Asian artists will be shared for participants to peruse their work and share whatever resonates with them – of course\, you are welcome to add to our list! \nEach artist will have 5 minutes to share. \nSee you on December 22nd\, at 10am PST/1pm EST! \nZoom info TBA!!!

SUMMARY:NEA Big Read: Interior Chinatown Book Discussion and Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore themes in Interior Chinatown and begin your own scripted story inspired by the book.\n\n\nThe Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) presents its 2024-25 NEA Big Read initiative\, featuring Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu\, a National Book Award winner. Under the theme Where We Live\, MOCA will host a series of free multidisciplinary public programs\, including book discussions and community events with authors\, artists\, performers\, and scholars throughout Winter 2024 and Spring 2025. \nTo celebrate the Hulu premiere of Interior Chinatown\, MOCA invites you to a book discussion and writing workshop led by educator Alice Fung. This interactive program will explore literary appreciation and include a dynamic writing activity inspired by the book. Themes such as writing family histories\, reflecting on the immigrant experience\, and creating narratives that address real-world challenges will be central to the discussion. Participants will also receive a FREE copy of Interior Chinatown. This event is open to all\, and no prior writing experience is required. \nNEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. \nAbout Interior Chinatown \nWillis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as the protagonist in his own life: he’s merely Generic Asian Man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making a Weird Face or even Disgraced Son\, but always he is relegated to a prop. Yet every day\, he leaves his tiny room in a Chinatown SRO and enters the Golden Palace restaurant\, where Black and White\, a procedural cop show\, is in perpetual production. He’s a bit player here\, too\, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy—the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. Or is it? \nAfter stumbling into the spotlight\, Willis finds himself launched into a wider world than he’s ever known\, discovering not only the secret history of Chinatown\, but the buried legacy of his own family. Infinitely inventive and deeply personal\, exploring the themes of pop culture\, assimilation\, and immigration—Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu’s most moving\, daring\, and masterful novel yet. \nAbout Charles Yu \nCharles Yu is the author of four books\, including his latest\, Interior Chinatown\, which won the 2020 National Book Award for Fiction\, was shortlisted for the Le Prix Médicis étranger\, and longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. He has received the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 Award\, been nominated for two Writers Guild of America awards for his work on the HBO series Westworld\, and has also written for shows on FX\, AMC\, Facebook Watch\, and Adult Swim. His fiction and non-fiction have appeared in a number of publications including the New Yorker\, the New York Times magazine\, the Atlantic\, Wired\, Time and Ploughshares.
