RESILIENCE ARCHIVES SHOWCASE

June 6th, 2017 is the launch of the Resilience Archives digital history tour alongside a multi-disciplinary event that includes:

    • A performance showcase of LGBTQ AAPI storytellers led by producer Kat Evasco.
    • An exhibition of large format portraits from the Visibility Project
    • Historical personal archives will also be exhibited
    • Short films from oral history interviews of the Visibility Project, API Equality – Northern California’s Dragon Fruit Project, and summer workshops of the Resilience Archives will be setup at listening stations

VISIBILITY PROJECT BOOK RELEASE

This dynamic evening includes a book launch from the Visibility Project!
A series of intimate portraits focused on the queer Asian American women and trans community. This retrospective of the Visibility Project lifts up this traditionally marginalized community, through carefully, mindfully, and intentionally moving the spotlight onto the fierce and proud participants of the project. It includes over 80 portraits of QAPIs from New York to Little Rock to Chicago and of course, San Francisco.

Visibility Project Director, Mia Nakano, and collaborators Monna Wong and Tracy Ngyuen developed educational curriculum to help educators utilize the Visibility Project photos and extensive oral history film interviews as teaching tools. The lesson plans are meant as prompts for folks as young as 11 through adulthood. It begins with key guiding principals to cultivate a safe intentional space to teach and learn.
