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.

SUMMARY:Riding with the Wind - A Book Talk with Monona Yin & Grant Din
DESCRIPTION:The Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Eastwind Books of Berkeley present \nA Book Talk with Monona Yin & Grant Din  \nSunday\, May 6\, 2018 \nDoors Open: 2:00PM / Book Talk: 2:30PM / Q&A: 3:30PM \nRiding with the Wind: Three Generations of My Family in China \nIn her new memoir\, Riding with the Wind: Three Generations of My Family in China\, Fay Hoh Yin paints an indelible portrait of her unusual family as the imperial era ends and war with Japan begins. Her mother is among the first women in centuries to escape foot binding and arranged marriage. She then uses her newfound freedom to study physical education in the US in the early 1920s\, returning to China to become a pioneering educator for the next seventy years. \nYin later comes to the U.S. herself\, marries a fellow foreign student\, and starts a family. Tragically\, she loses her husband at age thirty-seven\, but forges a unique partnership with her widowed mother-in-law that far outlasts either of their marriages. Yin’s stories of daring\, hardship\, and perseverance are deeply personal\, yet illuminate the changing roles of women in 20th century China and the United States. \nThe author’s daughter Monona Yin\, who edited and published the book\, will read passages and describe the creative process with her mother. She and moderator Grant Din will discuss the challenge of preserving and documenting first-generation immigrant women’s stories. \nFAY HOH YIN was born in Beijing in 1932 and grew up during the Sino-Japanese and Chinese Civil Wars. She and her family fled thousands of miles to escape the chaos\, finally settling in Taiwan in 1949. She later came to the U.S. and earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin. She retired in 1991 after working for twenty-six years as a virologist for the DuPont Company in Wilmington\, Delaware. Unfortunately\, due to frail health\, the author will not be present. \nMONONA YIN is Director of Impact and Learning at Borealis Philanthropy. From 2004-17\, she directed capacity building at the Four Freedoms Fund\, a national donor collaborative that has invested over $100 million in the immigrant rights movement. As an activist\, Monona is a co-founder and former staff director of CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities in New York City. She graduated from Yale and lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter. \nGRANT DIN has been a community and nonprofit leader for over 30 years\, most recently with the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation and Asian Neighborhood Design. He now provides consulting on resource development\, research\, writing\, and related tasks. Grant is also a consultant for genealogy and family history research. He holds a BA from Yale and an MA from Claremont Graduate University\, and lives in Oakland with his family. \nOakland Asian Cultural Center 388 Ninth Street\, Ste 290 Oakland\, CA 94607 \nFree and Open to the Public \nSuggested Donations: $5 to $20 \nOACC is supported by the Akonadi Foundation\, the San Francisco Foundation\, City of Oakland\, Hewlett Foundation\, Asian Pacific Fund\, City of Oakland Cultural Funding Program\, Comerica Bank\, Five Arts Fund\, and individual donors.
