SUMMARY:Talk Story: Staring into the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Join the 1882 Foundation and the Locke Foundation in the historic town of Locke for a Talk Story with debut author Madelyn Postman. \nPostman’s debut book Staring into the Sun traces multiple generations of her Chinese American family from1895 to 2015 and reflects on themes of immigration and identity\, intergenerational loss\, and cultural erasure. Spanning continents and centuries\, the collection weaves together stories from her great-grandfather Joe Shoong’s journey from the impoverished outskirts of Zhongshan\, China\, to the National Dollar Stores of the American West\, and finally\, to Postman’s own reckoning with her mother’s death by suicide and what it means to carry a secret that shaped her entire life. \nThe event will include a plaque unveiling at the Locke Chinese Schoolhouse (refurbished with funding from Joe Shoong in 1952 ); an author talk and Q+A; a book signing with the author; and complimentary light refreshments. Please bring cash to purchase the book ($17). All ages are welcome. \nThis event is hosted in partnership with the Locke Foundation\, whose mission is to educate the public about Locke’s history and legacy through preservation and cultural activities. Find out more here: https://locke-foundation.org \nIf you would like more information about this event\, please contact James: JamesXiao@1882Foundation.org. \nSchedule \n12:30 Locke Foundation plaque unveiling at the Locke Chinese School Museum \n1:00 Talk Story: Staring into the Sun at the Pearl \n2:30 Book signing with Madelyn Postman \n3:00 Reception (free refreshments) at the Jan Ying Museum \nRSVP Here

SUMMARY:Beyond the Archives: Art\, Identity\, and the Chinese Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:This event has in-person locations in both Washington DC and Sacramento. Please be sure to check the location when registering for this event. \nJoin us for a conversation with Chinese diasporic artists Bz Zhang\, Evelyn Hang Yin\, Connie Zheng\, and SK Tsang as they share their current and past work and reflect on how identity shapes the stories we tell. Each artist will discuss how they’ve navigated (or worked outside of) historical institutions and art spaces to create work that challenges inherited narratives and imagines new futures for Chinese diasporic communities in the United States. This discussion will be followed by an in-person art activity. \nThis event is held in collaboration with the GIVE FACE 给面子 (Gěimiànzi) exhibition and the Yolo County Historic Collection. \nGIVE FACE 给面子 (Gěimiànzi) is an interdisciplinary exhibition unearthing and regrounding past\, present\, and future narratives of Chinese diaspora in the Sacramento Valley in the sweeping and ever-expanding story of what we currently call California. Historical objects trace the impact of Chinese Americans on Yolo County through the things they left behind\, while contemporary artworks woven throughout the exhibit call our attention to their lived experiences\, intimacies\, and complexities. Using both documentation and speculation\, artist Bz Zhang’s work creates dialog between Western ideas and a Chinese-diasporic cultural inheritance and offers ways to “give face” to (that is\, to honor or show due respect for) Chinese ancestors in the US West. The stories of Chinese diaspora in Yolo County and the US West span oceans and continents\, and their contributions transcend our infrastructures (from railways to agriculture) into the social and cultural fabric of our nation. \nThe Yolo County Historical Collection is comprised of 11\,000 objects which date from the 1830s to the 1930s. The collection includes textiles\, agricultural equipment\, paintings\, archival materials\, ephemera\, photographs\, archaeological items\, tools\, ceramics\, household items\, furniture\, and personal items. This collection illustrates what life was like for early Yolo County residents. The Yolo County Historical Collection is displayed at the Gibson House and at Yolo County Library Branches. \nCan’t make it in person? Join via Zoom!

SUMMARY:Preserving Culture in the AI Age
DESCRIPTION:China has hundreds of dialects\, although most people only know about Mandarin or Cantonese. However\, many of these dialects are disappearing — a trend happening all over the world as globalization increases. With new technology like AI\, this presents new challenges for preserving dialects. \nOur presenter\, Leyi Lin Xu\, is an independent filmmaker focused on capturing stories of rural life in China. This conversation is inspired by her documentary\, Before Disappearing\, which records the unique dialects of her hometown. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/hxSh1o15QWKxK9ut069pCA \n

SUMMARY:Culture Series: 9-Man Volleyball
DESCRIPTION:HumanitiesDC & Ted Gong Present Culture Series: 9-Man\, a conversation with key members of the Chinese American community reflecting on the street sport that continues to unite generations. For more than 90 years\, 9-man volleyball has drawn teams from Chinatowns across the United States. In fact\, the game is so popular that the last time a rotating competition took place in Washington\, DC\, it closed Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the FBI Building. \nAs immigrant identities continue to face challenges\, understanding the impact of 9-man volleyball allows for a broader discussion on the importance of cultural spaces. Historical research has led to ongoing conversations about cultural preservation and identity within the Chinese American community\, ensuring 9-man remains a thriving sport today. \nJoin us for a panel discussion exploring how the game’s strict rules\, emphasis on community\, and longstanding traditions have contributed to cultural preservation across generations. Together\, we’ll revisit the rich history of 9-man volleyball in DC and highlight the resilience of Chinese American communities in maintaining their heritage despite adversity. \nRSVP here –> https://www.eventbrite.com/e/culture-series-9-man-tickets-1559760207769?aff=oddtdtcreator
