SUMMARY:Quiet As They Come & Birds Of Paradise Lost: Viet-Lit In SF
DESCRIPTION:The Tenderloin Museum is thrilled to collaborate with the Asian Art Museum on hosting a literary reading featuring renowned Vietnamese-American authors\, Andrew Lam and Angie Chau. Both authors have written extensively about coming of age in San Francisco in the ‘80s through the lens of the Vietnamese immigrant experience. As members of the Diasporic Vietnamese Artist Network (DVAN)\, they have contributed to a body of work that gives voice to the immigrant experience in the Bay Area and beyond. Their personal narratives are in dialogue with the current special exhibition at the Tenderloin Museum\, Voice of the Central City: The Tenderloin Times\, 1977-94\, which explores the history and impact of the Pulitzer Prize nominated\, polyglot Tenderloin community newspaper. \nLam and Chau both grew up in San Francisco and are among the few Vietnamese-Americans who have translated their localized experience into fiction. Their stories often unfold in the space between states\, between cultures\, and between generations. They explore how writers can tap gritty\, soul-deep truths to imbue highly specific\, often unprecedented life experience with a universality. In a 2011 interview with Lam on KALW\, Chau reflects that she seeks to portray “both the Vietnam side of things and what it means to be a person in the modern world who happens to have been from Vietnam trying to make it and find their way in this complicated\, complex\, messy urban environment of SF.” \nThis humanizing pursuit in Chau and Lam’s fiction is paralleled in the work of The Tenderloin Times\, where Lam was a regular contributor. The space between fact and fiction is fruitful ground for negotiating identity; both of these authors possess decades-long perspective and insight that enables them to navigate this space with gripping narrative finesse. This reading will be the final piece of programming for Voice of the Central City: The Tenderloin Times\, 1977-94\, on view at the Tenderloin Museum through April 2018. Published in English\, Vietnamese\, Cambodian and Lao\, the trailblazing neighborhood newspaper provided a vital service the Tenderloin’s Southeast Asian population during the pivotal years after the Fall of Saigon. Created in collaboration with community historian Sara Colm\, this exhibition showcases extremely rare archival images\, articles\, and political cartoons documenting our vibrant community. \nJoin the Tenderloin Museum at the Asian Art Museum’s Education Studios (200 Larkin St.) for this special reading and discussion. Free with admission to the Asian Art Museum. Get tickets here.

SUMMARY:SFWC 2018: WRITING YOUR LIFE: Personal Essay + Memoir

SUMMARY:A Day of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, members of the Japanese-American community and their allies observe February 19th\, the date in 1942 when Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Franklin Roosevelt\, leading to the internment of Japanese-Americans in concentration camps spread throughout the country. \nTonight\, Shizue Seigel and Hiroshi Kashiwagi will read prose and poetry\, respectgively\, in observation of this dark chapter in American history — a chapter which seems to be rewritten from time to time\, seemingly endlessly\, as it is being rewritten today in this era of unspeakable travesties and cruelty. \nAn open mic follows the featured readers.
