SUMMARY:“Chinese Brothers\, American Sons” Book Talk with Author Ed Shew
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is pleased to host this FREE book talk with Ed Shew\, author of the historical novel Chinese Brothers\, American Sons. Register here.\n\nTwo Chinese brothers arrive in America in 1854 on a death ship to escape poverty and oppression in China. Li Chang and Li Yu\, ten years younger\, search for Gold Mountain in the historical novel\, Chinese Brothers\, American Sons. Fighting the inhumanity and discrimination of the West\, they work perilously to drive in the Golden Spike in 1869 and become inspirational builders of the first Transcontinental Railroad and this country.\n\nFrom the author\n“It’s the story of two Cantonese brothers who along with tens of thousands of men from southern China conquer the back-breaking construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s\, the tunnels through the granite of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. No first-hand account describing the life of a Chinese railroad worker of the Transcontinental Railroad has ever been found. Historians have searched this nation and the winding road back to China\, to the roots of these forgotten\, invisible men. Many were literate\, yet not a scrap of their writing remains. As a Chinese American\, my goal is to tell this little-known story of these brave adventurers.”   – Ed Shew

SUMMARY:Triff ein Opfer des DDR-Geheimdienstes | Meet a Victim of the GDR Secret Service
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 21 on Zoom\n\n11:00 AM (Chicago) | 18:00 (Germany)\n[This event will be presented in German]\n\nTeilnehmer bekommen die Zoom Link per Email 1-2 Tage vor dem Event.\n\nAm 13. Februar 1988 entschließt sich der damals 31-jährige Dresdner Harry Schulz zu einer Demonstration zu gehen\, die an die Zerstörung Dresdens am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges erinnert. Er hält ein Plakat mit der Aufschrift: “Nie Wieder so ein Inferno\, aber Freiheit für andersdenkende Menschen.”\n\nInnerhalb von zwei Minuten verhaftet ihn der DDR-Geheimdienst. Nach 12 Stunden Verhör wird er in die Untersuchungshaftanstalt der Staatssicherheit (Stasi) in der Bautzner Straße in Dresden gebracht und nur 19 Tage später vor Gericht gestellt.

Mai dieses Jahres\, mehr als 30 Jahre nach diesem Vorfall\, laden die Gedenkstätte Bautzner Straße Dresden und das DANK Haus German American Cultural Center Chicago dazu ein\, den ehemaligen Untersuchungshäftling kennen zu lernen und ihm persönlich Fragen über seine Inhaftierung Zeit und Leben in der DDR zu stellen.\n\nCost: Free\n\nLearn more: https://dankhaus.com/event-4803186

SUMMARY:CEREMONIES: A Selection of Short Films by Marlon Riggs
DESCRIPTION:Post-discussion to follow led by Aymar Jean Christian & zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nA filmmaker unlike any other\, Marlon Riggs was an unapologetic gay Black man who defied a culture of silence and shame. Riggs used a bold mix of documentary\, performance\, poetry\, and music to confront the legacy of racist stereotypes and the impact of AIDS on the Black community. He died in 1995 of AIDS-related illness\, leaving behind a vital\, living body of work that wrestled with the very definition of what it means to be Black. \nCEREMONIES directly references poet Essex Hemphill’s groundbreaking anthology of short stories and poetry Ceremonies: Prose and Poetry\, which won the National Library Association’s Gay\, Lesbian\, and Bisexual New Author Award when it was published in 1992. The book’s poems and essays expand on many important social issues at the time\, such as the white objectification of Black men\, as epitomized by Robert Mapplethorpe’s The Black Book; AIDS in the Black community; and the complex dynamics gay Black men experience in both the white LGBTQ+ community and in Black culture – very much in alignment with Rigg’s exploration of these topics as it appears in his film works. In addition\, Essex Hemphill’s poetry was also featured in Marlon Riggs’ documentaries Tongues Untied (1989) and Black Is … Black Ain’t (1994). \nThis program features three of Riggs’ short films: Affirmations\, Anthem\, and Regrette Rien (No Regret). \nA post-discussion will be led by SSCAC Public Programs and Engagement Manager\, and co-curatort of EMERGENCE zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal and Aymar Jean Christian\, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at Northwestern University\, and co-founder of OTV | Open Television. \n  \n\n\nThis screening is presented in conjunction with EMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center\, currently on view until July 2\, 2022. \nEMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center spotlights The South Side Community Art Center’s historical role in supporting a full spectrum of Black artists through an intersectional viewpoint. The first exhibition of its kind at the South Side Community Art Center\, EMERGENCE positions the Center as an important anchor for Black LGBTQ artists who belonged to its community from its founding in 1940 to the 1980s and beyond. The exhibition features works addressing identity and community\, queer spaces and performance\, in collage\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and more. \n  \nThis program is generously supported by\, and in partnership with South Side Projections. \nFounded in 2011\, South Side Projections presents films at locations across Chicago’s south side to foster conversation about complex social and political issues. At many screenings\, we enlist scholars\, activists\, and filmmakers to lead discussions\, while other screenings offer opportunities to present seldom-seen films of historical and artistic value to the communities of Chicago’s south side.

SUMMARY:Live Performances: Sergio Gomez and Joanna Pinsky with Beate Axmann
DESCRIPTION:Live Performances will take place in the DANK Treffpunkt (1st floor gallery)\, where guests are encouraged to watch at any time during the session. Performances begin at 5:00pm and go until the artists are done painting (about 2 hours).\n\nPerformance dates:\n\nWednesday\, May 4 – Sergio Gomez with Beate Axmann\n\n5-7 PM\n\n\nTuesday\, May 17 – Joanna Pinsky with Beate Axmann\n\n5-7 PM\n\n\n\nAbout the performances:\nBeate Axmann has invited two Chicago-based artists to collaborate with her on this dynamic exhibition. Each artist will begin with their own large canvas. During this performance\, there will be several exchanges of the two canvases – meaning that each artist will add to the other artist’s work! This encounter will make visible the meaning of creative intervention\, trust and respect between the artists\, and the differences in their artistic expression.\n\nSpectators will have the unique opportunity to experience a very special art encounter – certainly not one that you see every day.

SUMMARY:Paha Stitch: Reclaiming the name and restoring dignity to Lakota Beading
DESCRIPTION:Rhonda Holy Bear will discuss her campaign to reclaim the Lakota language and eliminate the derogatory term “lazy stitch”.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nWords we use to define Indigenous histories and traditions have significant meaning and power. Many common yet offensive terms still used today have racist origins to describe Indigenous artistic techniques and practices contributing to cultural erasure. Award-winning Lakota Artist Rhonda Holy Bear is committed to restoring the appropriate terminology and language to describe beading techniques. In this session\, Rhonda will discuss her campaign to reclaim the Lakota language and eliminate the derogatory term “lazy stitch” used to describe long-venerated traditional beading techniques. Rhonda will share how the offensive word was used to imply Lakota grandmothers were “lazy” women whose artwork was unworthy of respect. She will introduce the appropriate term\, “Paha Stitch\,” meaning Hill Stitch or apahaka kagege used to reflect the Lakota values for industriousness and a strong work ethic. Rhonda invites others to change the name to Paha Stitch to honor and preserve the true legacy of Lakota/Plains women. \n  \nAbout the Artist \nRhonda Holy Bear was born in South Dakota in 1959. Rhonda is a Lakota transitional art figure artist. She has been creating figures for over 45 years. She spent her formative years on the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota and\, later\, in Chicago. Rhonda would eventually move to the southwest\, settling in New Mexico and\, most recently\, Las Vegas\, Nevada. As a youth\, Rhonda researched the work of her ancestors in the vaults of the Chicago Field Museum. Her meticulous research and artistic gifts would establish Rhonda as a notable leader in her field. Her innovative transitional art figures\, a combination of sculpture and traditional techniques\, have elevated the prominence of Plains figures in contemporary Native American art. What were once primarily considered playthings are now highly collectible plains Indian art figures. Her work has been prominently displayed in museums and private collections in United States and around the world. Most recently\, her work has been featured in The Metropolitan Art Museum of New York\, The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and at the Art Institute of Chicago and The Field Museum of Chicago. Rhonda was recently honored in a naming ceremony in her native South Dakota. Her Lakota name is “Wakah Wayuphika Win” (Making With Exceptional Skills Woman).
