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

SUMMARY:Searching for Billie
DESCRIPTION:Join us with journalist\, Ian Gill\, as he talks about his journey understanding his mother’s story! \nIan Gill identifies as a Eurasian journalist\, who’s main ambition is to “sleep eight hours uninterrupted\,” per his South China Morning Post freelancer bio. Eurasian is not a term that is frequently used in America\, but many abroad identify with the word and their experiences are similar to the stories of many Chinese Americans. \nGill has written for a wide range of publications\, including the Asian Wall Street Journal\, Asiaweek\, Insight\, Fiji Sun\, and the Evening Post (Wellington). He lived in the West for the first 30 years of his life\, and then visited Hong Kong in 1975 and has lived there ever since. This visit was the impetuous for his book\, Searching for Billie\, where he uncovers his mother’s story and his family history. \nAt this event\, Ian Gill will discuss his writing process\, his mother’s story\, and be available for book signings! \nRSVP with the following link.
