SUMMARY:The Spirit of Bali Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6676″ img_size=”1000×400″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Opening Reception: Friday\, June 21\, 2019\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm \n  \nI Madé Moja comes from Batuan\, a traditional arts village in Bali\, known for its classical music and dance\, fine woodcarving and unique painting style.  These time-honored traditions are passed from one generation to the next and continue to thrive\, despite great changes in the culture and economy of Bali. Moja’s father\, renowned painter I Madé Budi\, passed on the amazing ink and watercolor technique of Batuanto his son\, who has taken it in new directions here in the U.S. The technique starts with a pen and ink sketch\, which is then shaded with Chinese ink for a 3-dimensional effect. Watercolor or acrylic paint is added in a series of layers or “washes” and finished with bright highlights to complete the sense of depth and dimension.  The compositions are often very detailed and complex\, drawing from Hindu mythology\, traditional village life\, and nature. This style and caliber of Balinese painting is rarely seen here in the United States. Moja’s work has been shown internationally and featured in numerous books detailing the art and culture of Bali.  Since moving to the Bay Area\, Moja has branched out artistically.  In addition to teaching and experimenting with new themes in his painting. Moja has also worked extensively with ShadowLight Productions\, a non-profit theater company based in San Francisco that takes its inspiration from classical Indonesian “wayang kulit” (shadow puppet theater).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Our Bojagi: Bojagi Artworks from Claire Lilienthal School
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Our Bojagi: Bojagi Artworks from Claire Lilienthal School \nBojagi is a general term for all wrapping cloths in Korea. By sewing together small\, leftover cloths of various shapes and skillfully juxtaposing vibrant colors\, the unknown makers of traditional bojagi created exciting\, strikingly contemporary designs. Students in the Korean immersion program at Claire Lilienthal School create bojagi as one of their cultural activities working with local textile artist Youngmin Lee. Some students have been making bojagi for several years\, preserving and transferring their teacher’s knowledge of the traditional techniques and familiar forms as shown in this exhibition. \n  \nClaire Lilienthal K-8 Alternative School inspires each student to achieve their maximum potential in an academically\, culturally\, and socially inclusive environment. The school hosts Northern California’s only public school Korean language immersion program. Welcoming both native Korean speaking students as well as English speakers\, the Korean Immersion Program (KIP) seeks to achieve full bilingualism and biliteracy in Korean and English. KIP teachers\, all bilingual\, provide KIP students with the same academic content instruction as that provided General Education students\, but do so in both languages consistent with the proven dual-path language immersion model. KIP is a K-5 Korean/English Two-Way Immersion educational program designed to help students develop the ability to speak\, read and write in two languages at the same time. Along with proven academic and cognitive benefits\, developing bilingual skills enriches a child’s lived experience by exposing them to different cultures early in life. \n  \nCo-presented by the Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Claire Lilienthal School.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Hinabi Project:  Weaving Peace and Dreams ~ Textile Arts of Mindanao
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION:  October 5\, 2018 through November 4\, 2018 ~ Free and open to the public \nOPENING RECEPTION & CURATOR TALK:  Friday\, October 5\, 2018 ~ Free and open to the public \n The Hinabi Project (THP) brings to the East Bay the unique textile art of the weaving communities of Mindanao Mandaya\, Bagobo\, Higaonon\, T’boli\, Blaan\, Yakan\, Tausug\, Maranao and the Maguindanao. Traditional weaving was circumscribed by ritual and ceremonies of the life-cycle birth\, marriage and death. The fabrics produced were meant to address these ceremonial needs. Weaving was a contemplative and peaceful endeavor for the women of these communities. Textiles also serve as peace offerings to resolve community conflicts and uneasy alliances.  With the new demands of political determinism\, new ideologies\, and the consumer technologies — what typically would be a peaceful activity has been disrupted but the indigenous weavers continued their craft throughout the twist and turns of the country’s political fortunes. Weaving was and still has been for most\, a means for additional income to an essentially peasant/farmer subsistence economy. Now\, they also struggle between the tenets of traditional weaving customs and the demands of the local and tourist market while working in social conditions less conducive to weaving. With this disruption\, the continuity of the indigenous weaving tradition\, the passing on of its heritable designs and technique\, and the self-pride and worth of work is a cause for grave concern. Through this exhibit\, The Hinabi Project hopes to highlight the possibility of evolving newer concepts of design and work\, thereby\, encourage other designers\, weaving artisans\, and scholars to talk about their future direction. \nPresented by Philippine American Writers and Artists’ (PAWA) The Hinabi Project in collaboration with National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) of the Philippines\, Non-Timber Forest Products-Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) CustomMade Crafts Center\, the Philippine Department of Tourism in San Francisco\, and the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: The Forbidden Book: The Philippine-American War in Political Cartoons Presented and Curated by: Abraham Ignacio
DESCRIPTION:THE FORBIDDEN BOOK uses political cartoons from 1898 to 1906 to chronicle a little-known war between the United States and the Philippines that lasted over 15 years\, in which 126\,000 U.S. troops were deployed and hundreds of thousands of Filipinos were killed. Today\, few Americans know about the brutal suppression of Philippine independence or the anti-war movement led by the likes of writer Mark Twain\, peace activist Jane Addams\, journalist Joseph Pulitzer\, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie\, labor leader Samuel Gompers\, and Moorfield Storey\, first president of the NAACP. These cartoons glorify manifest destiny; portray Filipinos\, Puerto Ricans\, Cubans\, Hawaiians\, Chamorros\, and other colonials as dark-skinned savages in need of civilization; and were used to justify a war at a time when three African Americans–on average–were lynched every week across the south\, and when the Supreme Court approved the “separate but equal” doctrine.
