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:There’s No Stopping to My Thoughts: A Community Play & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vckit_image_banner title=”” tutorial=”” image=”6543″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There’s No Stopping to My Thoughts is a community-based\, script-in-hand\, interactive theatrical experience inspired by the life and aspirations of self-taught visionary artist Leon Kennedy.  A 75-year-old black man who paints prodigiously on anything\, Leon has called Oakland home for more than half a century\, and strives towards painting a mural in the city.  A long-time friend’s betrayal and a fellow artist’s conflicting aesthetics leaves him running in place\, struggling to survive in a new economy where his gift remains in the shadows.  Actors will largely be members of the community.  The fictionalized script is informed by firsthand narratives collected from story circles held at OACC\, and conversations with Leon Kennedy and his community. The play will be followed by a community panel discussion around key themes involving the play creators and various community partners. \nClick Here to RSVP \nPlaywright: Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong \nDirector: Michael Mansfield \nProducers: Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong\, Cleavon Smith and Michael Mansfield \nArt Exhibition Curator: Cleavon Smith \nPresented by the Oakland Asian Cultural Center as part of its Artist In Residence program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Lecture by Chef David Soohoo & Book Talk With Author Professor Gordon H. Chang
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Click here to RSVP” style=”flat” color=”orange” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fbook-talk-ghosts-of-gold-mountain-tickets-58873119084%20||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] \nGordon H. Chang will present a talk about his newest book GHOSTS OF GOLD MOUNTAIN: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad\, a groundbreaking account that draws on unprecedented research to recover the Chinese railroad workers’ stories and celebrate their role in remaking America. An invaluable correction of a great historical injustice\, GHOSTS OF GOLD MOUNTAIN returns these “silent spikes” to their rightful place in our national saga. Q&A and a book signing to follow. \nGordon is the Olive H. Palmer Professor in Humanities and Professor of History at Stanford University\, where he also serves as director of the Center for East Asian Studies and codirector of the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project. Chang is the author of Fateful Ties and editor of four other books. He lives in Stanford\, California. \nFrom across the sea\, they came by the thousands\, escaping war and poverty in southern China to seek their fortunes in America. Converging on the enormous western worksite of the Transcontinental Railroad\, the migrants spent years dynamiting tunnels through the snow-packed cliffs of the Sierra Nevada and laying tracks across the burning Utah desert. Their sweat and blood fueled the ascent of an interlinked\, industrial United States. But those of them who survived this perilous effort would suffer a different kind of death—a historical one\, as they were pushed first to the margins of American life and then to the fringes of public memory. \nPre-talk lecture by Chef David Soohoo from 1 – 2 PM \n“The Diet of The Chinese Railroad Builders” \nLearn about the culinary findings of the early Chinese pioneers who built the Transcontinental railroad and the birth of present day Chinese American culture. Chef David SooHoo was born in San Francisco to Cantonese immigrants who owned Chinese-American restaurants in Sacramento. With more than 50 years behind the wok\, SooHoo was the first chef from Sacramento invited to the Beard House\, and most recent personal chef to Barron Hilton at his Venice Island Duck Club located in the reclaimed swampland of the San Joaquin Delta by the Chinese after the gold rush. \nThis program is co-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Eastwind Books of Berkeley. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
