SUMMARY:“一家之主”：女性，母性，依属&自主 “Reclaim”: Womanhood\, Motherhood\, and In/Dependence – Movie Screening and Discussion with KAN-WIN
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is in Mandarin 本次活动将全程使用中文进行。 \nThis event includes a movie screening followed by a discussion about the movie. Centering on a woman in her late 50s/early 60s who has lived her life for others–husband\, children\, parents–the movie depicts traditional gender roles embedded commonly in Asian families. Through guided discussion\, participants will have an opportunity to explore further and deeper experiences and struggles an Asian woman might undergo during her life\, especially how to “reclaim” her independence as a capable wife\, a caring mother\, and a successful career woman. \n活動包括電影放映和有關電影的討論。這部電影以一位 50 歲末/60 歲出頭的女性為中心，她為他人（丈夫、孩子、父母）而活，描繪了亞洲家庭中普遍存在的傳統性別角色。透過引導式討論​​，參與者將有機會進一步深入探討亞洲女性一生中可能經歷的經歷和掙扎，特別是如何在一個有能力的妻子、一個有愛心的母親和一個成功的職業婦女的多重角色中重申自己的自主性。 \nPlease note that events may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. \n“AAPI Heritage Month Cultural Festival 2024” is sponsored by Chicago Community Trust. \nEvent Agenda \n1:00  Door Open \n1:20  Introduction \n1:30-3:30  Movie Screening \n3:30-3:40  Stretch & Break \n3:40-4:20  Discussion \n4:20-4:30  Closing Remarks \n4:30 End \n  \nAbout KAN-WIN \nKAN-WIN’s mission is to eradicate gender-based violence\, including domestic violence and sexual assault\, especially for women and children across Asian American communities and beyond through culturally competent services\, community engagement\, and advocacy. \nAccessibility \nThe Heritage Museum of Asian Art’s Entrance is on West 35th Street.  Take the elevator to the third floor and turn right to the Museum Reception Desk.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Ouroboros Opera at the Rosehill Cemetery for an unforgettable evening of music and drama. \nSet in a wild wood full of fae sprites\, Rusalka is guaranteed to delight. The story is quite familiar to us\, resembling The Little Mermaid but told from Slavic origins. Rusalka\, a water sprite\, longs to be human and to experience love with a handsome prince she’s seen in the woods. Her father warns her only woe will come from such things but Rusalka is driven to know exactly what life is like beyond the waters edge. This is a story of longing\, of wishing desperately to catch a glimpse of something more than the life we live. Join us as we peer into moonlit waters and discover what might be just under the surface.
