SUMMARY:SAN BERNARDINO–Exhibit: Afróntalo
DESCRIPTION: 21 Afrolatiné Californians and 4 Afro-Mexican communities in their own words  \nSAN BERNARDINO—One in four Latin Americans has African ancestry. And yet\, there is a general deficit of knowledge regarding the presence and prevalence of blackness throughout the Americas. This is more than a simple matter of obscurity. It is a problem of erasure\, invisibility and dislocation. Afróntalo introduces you to four communities in Mexico and twenty-one Californians\, all in their own words\, to explore the depth and breadth of Afrolatiné histories\, cultures and identities. \nWhy is the exhibit called Afróntalo?  \n“Afróntalo” in Spanish means “Face It.” This reflects the intention of our exhibition to recognize the erasure of Afro-descendants and the prevalence of anti-blackness in the Americas. Additional meaning can be found in breaking the title into two separate phrases\, “Afro” and “Ntalo.” The first phrase\, “Afro\,” reflects the Afro-descendant focus of the exhibition. The second phrase “Ntalo\,” has at least three meanings in African languages. In Xitsonga\, spoken in parts of Zimbabwe and Eswatini\, ntalo means “abundance.” In Lingala\, a language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, ntalo means “value.” Finally in Ganda\, the primary language spoken in Uganda\, ntalo means “war.” Collectively\, these three words reflect the impetus of Afróntalo to make clear the widespread and deep roots of Afro-descendants in the Americas\, the incredible importance of Afro-descendant contributions and populations historically and today\, and the need for action to bring attention to these matters and the contemporary needs of Afro-descendant communities. \nWhere: California State University\, San Bernardino | Anthropology Museum (SB-306)5500 University Parkway\, San Bernardino\, CA 92407 \nExhibit Runs September 21\, 2023 – June 19\, 2024\nFree and open to the public \nAdditional events and public programs part of the Afrolatine California project: \n \nLearn more at on the project’s website. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:LOS ANGELES—Exhibit: "Comfort Women" Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Soon-duk Kim\, Taken Away\, 1995\, courtesy of Comfort Women: Then and Now–Who They Were and Why We Should Remember Them. \nLOS ANGELES—In collaboration with Comfort Women Action for Redress and Education (CARE)\, a California-based organization led by survivors of World War II-era institutionalized sex slavery and human trafficking\, a new interpretive exhibit opening in February 2024 will bring to light the experiences of these abused women and girls and their struggle for justice. Using historical photographs\, documents\, maps\, and storytelling\, the exhibition will foster public understanding of how an event that happened more than 70 years ago is still relevant in the context of present-day human trafficking and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV)\, and how these women transformed from victims to activists. \nTens of thousands of women and girls were forced into sexual slavery by the imperial Japanese army between 1932 and 1945. Forced to work in “comfort stations” for twelve hours a day\, the women lived under deplorable conditions\, moving about as they followed the army\, then abandoned when the war ended. CARE (Comfort Women Action for Redress & Education) continues to tell the story of these women\, pushing for acknowledgment of these human rights abuses from the Japanese government. \nComfort Women: Then and Now—Who They Were and Why We Should Remember Them\nExhibit Run: February 29–July 14\, 2024 \n\nWhere: Museum of Social Justice | 115 Paseo de la Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012 \n\n\nTickets: Free admission \nVisit the exhibit website for more information. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:MENDOCINO—Nathaniel Smith and the History of African Americans in California
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Nathaniel Smith\, circa 1880-1900. Photograph courtesy of Open UCLA Collections \nMENDOCINO—Nathaniel Smith arrived in Mendocino County in the 1850s and is believed to be the first African American to settle on the coast. His life story is revealed through photos\, clippings\, and artifacts in the Kelley House Museum’s newest exhibit. Smith was at one time “known to every man\, woman and child on the coast.” He was known for his wit\, good nature\, and essential work as a hunter\, fisherman\, farmer\, and ferry operator. When Smith arrived in Mendocino\, California passed laws and instituted policies discriminating against African Americans and Native Americans. As his popularity in the region grew\, he also endured the racism of some of his neighbors\, including the frequent use of a derogatory nickname. Despite the challenges\, Smith succeeded in many professions\, owned a home and land\, and raised a family. This exhibition presents details of Nathaniel Smith’s life set against the history of California’s treatment of people of color. Follow the path of Smith’s life as he moved from his hometown of Baltimore\, traveled the world on a ship\, and eventually settled and made his life in Mendocino County. We are grateful to guest curator Alexander Wood for his thorough research and to Arlene Zornes\, Nathaniel Smith’s descendant\, for all the information and assistance. \nExhibit Run: March 1–May 27\, 2024 \n\nWhere: Kelley House Museum | 45007 Albion Street\, Mendocino\, CA 95460 \nTickets: $5 suggested donation \n\nVisit the exhibit website for more information. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Quick Grant.

SUMMARY:MERCED—No-No Boy in Concert
DESCRIPTION:MERCED—Coming on the heels of his 2023 album release Empire Electric\, No-No Boy\, the media project of Ethnomusicologist and Smithsonian Folkways recording artist Julian Saporiti and co-producer Emilia Halvorsen Saporiti\, is coming to Merced for an evening performance. Called a “Master Storyteller” by All Music\, Saporiti’s songwriting examines narratives of imperialism\, identity\, and spirituality. It tells stories rooted in years of research and relationship-building\, made vibrant and profound through a rich congregation of instrumental\, environmental\, and electronically manipulated sounds from Asia and America. His performances have been called “remarkably powerful and moving\,” by Folk Alley and “with gentle\, catchy and accessible folk songs that feel instantly familiar\,” by NPR – a contrast that gets to the heart of Saporiti’s songwriting.\nAlong with the concerrt there will be an 11 A.M. workshop at the MAC on Saporiti’s approach to turning history into modern media. \nWHEN: Saturday\, April 27 at 7:00 pm \nWHERE: The MAC Black Box Theater | 645 W. Main Street\, Merced \nCOST: FREE! \nFor more info: https://www.artsmerced.org/events-list/no-no-boy \n \nThis project is supported with a Humanities for All Quick Grant.

SUMMARY:WATSONVILLE—Cinco De Lowrider Film Program
DESCRIPTION:Watsonville—The Watsonville Film Festival (WFF) is reclaiming the Cinco de Mayo holiday with five days of films and festivities honoring Mexican and Chicano heritage and pride. The celebration is part of a prestigious California Humanities grant awarded to WFF to create the More than Cars: Celebrating Lowrider Culture and a series of cultural events in partnership with Pajaro Valley Arts and local car clubs. \nHumanities advisor\, Dr. Alberto Lopez Pulido\, Chair of the University of San Diego Ethnic Studies Dept.\,  and a renowned Lowrider author and filmmaker\, will bring the iconic 38-foot mural-covered “Barrio Bus\,” aka classroom on wheels\, from San Diego to visit PVUSD schools. From May 1-3\, students will have the opportunity to tour the Barrio Bus and engage with Professor Pulido\, who is also Vice-Chair of Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center\, to learn about the 8 Principles of Lowriding and the significance of 5 de Mayo. \n“Since the 1940s\, lowriding has been a source of pride and a symbol of Chicano ingenuity\,” says Dr. Pulido\, “Yet for decades\, many cities passed laws banning Lowriders from gathering and cruising. They were targeted with negative stereotypes when in fact they represent a unique form of “art on wheels.”  In 2024\, California finally repealed the bans after a grassroots campaign organized by Lowrider clubs across the state. \nOn Saturday\, May 4 at 6 pm\, the Watsonville Film Festival will present Dr. Pulido’s award-winning documentary\, EVERYTHING COMES FROM THE STREETS\, about the history of Lowriding. UCSC graduate Gloria Morán will present her film\, THE UNIQUE LADIES\, about women Lowriders in a culture traditionally dominated by men. There will be a Q&A after the films with the directors and Dr. Pulido’s co-producers Rigoberto Reyes and Kelly Whalen at Cinelux Green Valley Cinema\, 1125 S. Green Valley Rd. Starting at 9 pm\, DJ XXIII will be spinning Lowrider tunes at a free after-party at Fruition Brewing\, 918 E. Lake Ave in Watsonville. \nOn Sunday\, May 5\, there will be free ‘Cinco de Lowrider’ festivities at Pajaro Valley Arts\, where the More Than Cars: Celebrating Lowrider Culture exhibit will be open to the public. The Watsonville Riders will host their club’s showcase and talk from 1-2 pm. There will be music\, food vendors\, and lots of beautiful Lowrider cars outside of the Porter Building at 280 Main Street between 11 am–4 pm. \nAbout WFF:\nThe Watsonville Film Festival\, now in its 12th year\, provides a platform for talented Latine and Indigenous artists and filmmakers who are often overlooked by mainstream culture. The California Humanities grant has provided support for WFF to explore the creative legacy of Lowriding through films\, an oral history project in collaboration with CSUMB Professor Kristen La Follette\, school visits with the Barrio Bus\, and the exhibit that features artwork by more than 50 local and prominent artists and five car clubs. \nFor more information\, visit: watsonvillefilmfest.org and pvarts.org.

SUMMARY:SAN BERNARDINO–Celebrate Pio Pico's Birthday with Afróntalo
DESCRIPTION:SAN BERNARDINO—Join the CSUSB Anthropology Museum for conchas and cake to celebrate the May 5 birthday of Alta California’s last governor\, Pio Pico! Part of the ongoing exhibit Afróntalo. \nWhen: Monday\, May 6 | 11 am-1 pm\nWhere: CSUSB Anthropology Museum\, San Bernardino\, SB-306  \nTickets: This event is FREE to the public \n—————————————————————————– \nWhy is the exhibit called Afróntalo?  \n“Afróntalo” in Spanish means “Face It.” This reflects the intention of our exhibition to recognize the erasure of Afro-descendants and the prevalence of anti-blackness in the Americas. Additional meaning can be found in breaking the title into two separate phrases\, “Afro” and “Ntalo.” The first phrase\, “Afro\,” reflects the Afro-descendant focus of the exhibition. The second phrase “Ntalo\,” has at least three meanings in African languages. In Xitsonga\, spoken in parts of Zimbabwe and Eswatini\, ntalo means “abundance.” In Lingala\, a language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, ntalo means “value.” Finally in Ganda\, the primary language spoken in Uganda\, ntalo means “war.” Collectively\, these three words reflect the impetus of Afróntalo to make clear the widespread and deep roots of Afro-descendants in the Americas\, the incredible importance of Afro-descendant contributions and populations historically and today\, and the need for action to bring attention to these matters and the contemporary needs of Afro-descendant communities. \nWhere: California State University\, San Bernardino | Anthropology Museum (SB-306)5500 University Parkway\, San Bernardino\, CA 92407 \nExhibit Runs September 21\, 2023 – June 19\, 2024\nFree and open to the public \nLearn more at on the project’s website. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:RIVERSIDE—HOLLYWOOD CHINESE Screening
DESCRIPTION:RIVERSIDE—Hollywood Chinese is a captivating revelation on a little-known chapter of cinema: the Chinese in American feature films. From the first Chinese American film produced in 1917\, to Ang Lee’s triumphant Brokeback Mountain nine decades later\, Hollywood Chinese brings together a fascinating portrait of actors\, directors\, writers\, and iconic images to show how the Chinese have been imagined in movies\, and how filmmakers have and continue to navigate an industry that was often ignorant about race\, but at times paradoxically receptive. \nHollywood Chinese is produced\, directed\, written and edited by Academy Award® nominee and triple Sundance award-winning filmmaker\, Arthur Dong (Licensed to Kill\, Coming Out Under Fire\, Forbidden City\, U.S.A.)\, and presents eleven of the industry’s most accomplished Chinese and Chinese American film artists who share personal accounts of working in film. Ang Lee\, Wayne Wang\, Joan Chen\, David Henry Hwang\, Justin Lin\, B.D. Wong\, Nancy Kwan\, Tsai Chin\, Lisa Lu\, James Hong\, and Amy Tan are among the storytellers who have wrestled with being the “other” in Hollywood. \nFree admission and Q&A with filmmaker Arthur Dong. \nWhere: UCR Arts\, 3824 & 3834 Main Street\, Riverside\, CA 92501\nWhen: 7 pm\, May 17\, 2024 \nFor details\, see: ucrarts.ucr.edu/films/hollywood-chinese/
