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.

Her international upbringing has greatly influenced the meanderings in her writing\, as she continues to experiment with voice and push boundaries in her work.

While she is a second-year Fiction student in the MFA Writing program at Sarah Lawrence\, her writing wanders in the realms of poetry\, speculative fiction and creative nonfiction. When Aditi is not agonizing over her words (or procrastinating\, depending on how you look at it)\, she is either watching Only Murders in the Building (sparking her own true crime obsession)\, curating her – twenty-fifth? – Spotify playlist of angsty throwbacks\, or finding excuses to show pictures of her dogs. \nBriana Martin is a Bronx Native and first-generation college student.

She has always enjoyed playing the violin\, dancing in various unprofessional forms\, eating meals made by her Ukrainian and Georgian grandmothers\, connecting with people / animals / places\, and writing about all of the above and beyond. At the University of Pittsburgh\, she studied writing & music in the city between three rivers she loves deeply\, and now lives in Manhattan as she pursues her MFA in Writing at Sarah Lawrence College. She is still most proud of winning “Best Delegate” at her eighth grade Model UN. \nLilyan LeaVesseur is a writer and artist from Chicago\, IL and Encinitas\, CA. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Writing at Sarah Lawrence College. \nMarisa Viola is pursuing her MFA in fiction at Sarah Lawrence College.

When the time comes to act\, can she trust him\, or must she ignore her heart for the sake of so many others? \nAs the master of the Shadowforged Legion\, Alaric has trained for battle all his life\, but marrying a Lightweaver might be his most dangerous challenge yet. With tensions between nations churning\, he needs to focus on the greater threat—the Moonless Dark\, a cataclysmic magical event that could devour everything. Only he and Talasyn can stop it\, with a powerful merging of light and shadow that they alone can create together. But saving their world from this disaster is a mere preface to his father’s more sinister schemes\, and his wife is a burning flame in the darkness\, tempting both his loyalties and his desires. \nThe Hurricane Wars aren’t over. It’s time to choose what—and who—to fight for. The world holds its breath amidst a whirlwind of new magic and old secrets that could change everything. \nABOUT Thea Guanzon: \nThea Guanzon holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies\, with a specialization in international Politics and Peace Studies.

SUMMARY:What Is Cultural Appropriation?
DESCRIPTION:In recent headline news\, actor Simu Liu called out a boba tea company for cultural appropriation saying “There’s an issue of taking something that’s very distinctly Asian in its identity and quote-unquote ‘making it better\,’” \nThe comment generated a lot of feedback from consumers who then chimed in to add their thoughts on what cultural appropriation\, especially in food\, actually means. \nJoin us for a lively discussion with Bay Area brand founders on what their thoughts are on cultural appropriation. \nAbout the Speakers \nOlivia Chen\, co-founder and CMO of Twrl Milk Tea\, is a creative entrepreneur passionate about community building\, storytelling and marketing. An expert in guerrilla marketing\, Olivia has a proven track record in developing brand stories with focus on optimizing messaging\, effective marketing mix\, and maximizing sales conversion. She is passionate about creating positive change and growth while sharing her Taiwanese culture and traditions\, especially Boba Milk Tea\, with the world. Chen holds a B.S. from University of California\, Berkeley\, Haas Business School and an MBA/MA from University of Pennsylvania\, The Wharton School and The Lauder Institute. She led global and domestic product marketing teams at Estee Lauder (Clinique\, Donna Karan Cosmetics\, and Origins) and is a former publicist for Amazon and New York Times bestselling authors. In her spare time\, Olivia is an avid baker and bento creator. \nAruna Lee\, a South Korean native and former Buddhist nun\, founded Volcano Kimchi in 2014 in the heart of San Francisco. Specializing in vegan\, organic kimchi and Korean-inspired fermented foods\, Volcano Kimchi reflects Aruna’s passion for sustainability\, health\, and community. Rooted in her deep values\, Aruna emphasizes high-quality\, eco-friendly ingredients to craft wholesome\, flavorful ferments. Beyond food\, her work is about connection—nurturing a sense of togetherness through the shared love of nourishing meals. Volcano Kimchi isn’t just a business; it’s Lee’s way of promoting health\, sustainability\, and community\, one delicious jar at a time. \nJaneen and Rodrigo Cruz\, the husband-and-wife team behind Kuali. They say: “Our story is rooted in love—for each other\, for our culture\, and for the flavors that remind us of home.” Janeen\, the daughter of Mexican immigrants from El Ejido Hermosillo\, Baja California\, and Rodrigo\, who grew up in the bustling heart of Mexico City\, met over a shared passion for food and tradition. For Rodrigo\, the kitchen is a sacred space where he reconnects with his mamá\, Mely\, and relives memories of México with every dish. It’s where he recreates the vibrant salsas he grew up with—the same flavors that captured Janeen’s heart. As a first-generation Mexican-American\, she hadn’t tasted anything like it: a salsa that truly tasted like México. “In 2020\, with the world at a standstill\, we felt inspired to bring the soulful\, authentic taste of Mexico to the U.S. We couldn’t find anything that captured the bold\, unapologetic flavors we cherish\, so we started Kuali right here in our kitchen in Oakland. Now\, we’re thrilled to share that taste with you\, a taste that makes you say\, ‘esto es México.’ For us\, salsa is life. It’s more than just a condiment; it’s the heart of our table\, our heritage\, and our everyday meals. When you open a jar of Kuali salsa\, you’re tasting the magic that brings us together—our culture\, our story\, and the passion we pour into every batch.” \nModerator: Michele Meow

SUMMARY:From Past Prejudice to Present Policy: The Impact of Land Ownership Exclusion Laws on Diverse Communities
DESCRIPTION:Join Committee of 100 and APA Justice for an insightful discussion on the troubling resurgence of alien land laws — historically discriminatory policies that are reemerging in state legislatures across the U.S. Originally designed to prevent non-citizens\, particularly those from AAPI communities\, from owning property\, these laws are now being reframed as safeguards to national resources. We will discuss whether these laws properly address national security concerns or whether they are merely a pretext that infringes upon civil rights and liberties under the guise of protection. \nOur panel of legal experts and advocates will delve into the history of alien land laws\, examine their renewed impact on vulnerable communities and discuss key cases\, including a bill recently introduced in Florida. Whether you’re a policymaker\, legal professional\, journalist\, or concerned citizen\, this event is essential for anyone committed to upholding justice and equity in America.
