SUMMARY:Memory Vignettes & Poem-Paintings Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]UPDATE: This exhibition has been extended to June 30\, 2020. \n“As a woman\, Hindu\, Muslim\, artist\, and mother\, I work to create harmony by expressing the universality of humanity through paintings\, sculpture\, and calligraphy…I use my artistic voice to break down the barriers that divide in order to foster peace and understanding.” – Salma Arastu \nSalma Arastu started these series in 2005 driving inspiration from her childhood memories from Rajasthan\, India and stories of youth spent in Hyderabad\, India\, Iran and Kuwait. The paintings from these series are three dimensional\, mixed media on Board. Predominantly square in shape these are smaller in size but innovative works that are driving inspiration from Indo-Persian miniature paintings and Folk art while pushing the boundaries of form\, composition\, and narrative to emphasize the messages visually. \nAfter moving to San Francisco Bay area in 2007 she did several paintings of small homes in the bay Area with courtyards and Cherry Blossoms in the yards which she says were reminiscent of homes back in India.  Later she adopted same soft colors palette\, creating process and technique to translate Rumi’s spiritual poems in paintings. She says these works offer relaxation\, meditative moods. \nPress:\nLos Angeles Times – With canvas and Quran\, one artist aims to make Islamic calligraphy a universal language By Kimberly Winston[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title=”VIEW VIRTUAL GALLERY” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foacc.cc%2Fvirtual-galleries%2F%20|title:Virtual%20Galleries|target:%20_blank|”][vc_btn title=”RETURN TO EXHIBITIONS” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foacc.cc%2Foacc-exhibitions%2F|title:Virtual%20Galleries|target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Recalling the Ancestors: Buddhism and the WWII Japanese American Internment
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n  \nNearly all Japanese Americans were subject to accusations of disloyalty during World War II\, but Buddhists aroused particular suspicion.

A renowned scholar of Buddhism\, he is now the Director of the Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture at the University of Southern California. \nIn honor of Day of Remembrance\, Buddhist priest and scholar Duncan Ryuken Williams will be leading a reading and discussion of his book American Sutra: A Story of Faith and Freedom in the Second World War. \nThis event is free with a $3-5 suggested donation.

SUMMARY:An Orphan For You Conference
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nOACC is proud to host Day 2 of “An Orphan for You”: The Rise of Korean Adoption in the 1970s and 80s\, a free conference in Berkeley and Oakland\, CA. The conference will take place over two days\, from February 22-23\, 2020.During the 1970s and 80s\, South Korea sent the largest number of children overseas for adoption – over 112\,000 out of an estimated 200\,000 globally – leading some to refer to the country as “the land of orphans.” But many Korean children\, perhaps the majority\, who were sent overseas for adoption were social orphans who had at least one living parent and\, in some cases\, an intact family. \nWhat were the factors in South Korea that resulted in so many children being sent overseas at a time of rapid industrialization and rising wealth? What fueled interest in adopting Korean children among parents in the U.S.? \nCo-presented by Me & Korea\, Mu Films\, Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies (U.C. Berkeley)\, and the Oakland Asian Cultural Center. \nVisit https://meandkorea.org/conference to learn more.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”R.S.V.P.

SUMMARY:Portraits of Oakland Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nA special exhibition celebrating Black History Month. \nSee Oakland Chinatown through Leon Kennedy’s distinctive artistic style. \n“My dream is to connect to all the people’s dreams.” \nLeon Kennedy’s Art lies somewhere between the struggles of his community and the faith that guides them. When viewed\, the observer is directed away from the struggle and toward salvation along a path Mr. Kennedy has constructed. Considered one of the top self-taught artists in the country\, Leon’s inspiration and ability is achieved through divine intervention. “My gift is not natural\, it’s spiritual. Like Moses; my ideas come from God.” \nRegardless of the year\, the subject\, the medium\, or the material; each work is undeniably his own. Perhaps no other artist has a more recognizable style than Leon Kennedy. Learn more about Leon at leonkennedy.com. \n  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, February 8th from 6-8pm. \n  \nCo-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Oakland Public Library. \nEnjoy live painting sessions with Leon Kennedy at Oakland Public Libraries:\nhttp://oaklandlibrary.org/events/main-library/live-painting-sessions-artist-leon-kennedy[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”R.S.V.P.

SUMMARY:Chicken of the Sea: A Children's Book Reading
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nEnjoy a live reading by the authors of Chicken of the Sea\, a collaborative children’s book from Viet Thanh Nguyen and Thi Bui\, and their children Ellison Nguyen and Hien Bui-Stafford. \nA band of intrepid chickens leave behind the boredom of farm life\, joining the crew of the pirate ship Pitiless to seek fortune and glory on the high seas. Led by a grizzled captain into the territory of the Dog Knights\, they soon learn what it means to be courageous\, merciful\, and not seasick quite so much of the time. \nA whimsical and unexpected adventure tale\, Chicken of the Sea originated in the five-year-old mind of Ellison Nguyen\, son of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen; father and son committed the story to the page\, then enlisted the artistic talents of Caldecott Honor winner Thi Bui and her thirteen-year-old son\, Hien Bui-Stafford\, to illustrate it. This unique collaboration between two generations of artists and storytellers invites you aboard for adventure\, even if you’re chicken. Maybe especially if you’re chicken. \nCo-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Eastwind Books of Berkeley.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”CLICK TO R.S.V.P.” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foacc.liveimpact.org%2Fli%2F8737%2Fsevent%2Fevt%2Fhome%2F131527%2F69||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
