SUMMARY:SAN JOSE–Exhibit: Queer Threads
DESCRIPTION:Queer Threads \nOPENS TO MEMBERS ON MAY 11\, 2023 / OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON MAY 12\, 2023 – AUGUST 20\, 2023\n\nGuest Curator: John Chaich \nTurner\, Gilliland\, Finlayson and Porcella Galleries – San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles \nQueer Threads is a traveling group exhibition and coffee-table book exploring contemporary lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and queer experiences through fiber and textile traditions. \nThis latest iteration of the 2014 exhibition at the Leslie-Lohman Museum in NYC spotlights 35 artists with roots in the American West\, Northwest\, and Southwest\, as well as work from the museum’s collection. From the impeccably finished to the intentionally raw\, many works are fully executed through thread-based processes such as crochet\, embroidery\, quilting\, and weaving\, while others interact with animation\, clay\, light\, metal\, and photography. Each artist’s use of material choices and technical finishes suggest poetic and subversive intentions. \nAlthough all of the featured artists are LGBTQ-identified or allies\, not all of the content explicitly is—and that’s perfectly queer in this context. By breaking through binaries of art and craft\, male and female\, gay and straight and beyond\, the exhibition embraces differences and encourages experimental approaches to hand and machine textile practices. \nFor more information\, visit https://www.sjquiltmuseum.org/. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:FRESNO–Exhibit: In Their Own Words: Sikh Youth Oral History Project
DESCRIPTION:FRESNO-In their Own Words: Sikh Youth Oral History Project is a project sponsored by the Fresno County Historical Society (FCHS) and in collaboration with Community Media Access Collaborative (CMAC). This exciting project has focused on teaching Sikh youth how to become the collectors and curators of their personal history. Through a series of educational workshops and intergenerational public history projects\, the students have learned how to perform family history research\, oral history collection\, digitization\, and exhibition skills while developing a deeper understanding of the international context of their family history. The students conducted interviews with family members and members of the Sikh community\, learning about their lives and their experiences. After completing the interview process\, the students then learned how to professionally edit the interviews through training workshops at CMAC. This exhibit is the culmination of the students’ efforts and dedication to share the rich history and experiences of the Sikh community. \nOn exhibit now in their gallery! You can watch the full documentary on their YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/ECOcE5cxVKs \nRuns: June-September 1\, 2023 \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:PBS Premiere–FIRE ON THE HILL
DESCRIPTION:PBS Premiere–Tune in for the PBS Premiere of FIRE ON THE HILL\, supported by a California Documentary Project grant. Just five miles south of downtown Los Angeles\, South Central LA was for much of the twentieth century an agricultural boomtown filled with ranchers\, farmers\, and equestrians alike. Since the city’s establishment\, Compton and the surrounding neighborhoods have always had a culture of Cowboys. Once common to the dusty dirt roads\, this culture has all but disappeared now in a wash of land-hungry developers\, apathetic politicians\, and relentless gang activity. FIRE ON THE HILL tells the story of the South Central and Compton Cowboys and the last strongholds that they have; a horse stable known as the Hill that was mysteriously set on fire in 2012. This is the story of three of those Cowboys and their fight to live out their vision of the West. \n \nFIRE ON THE HILL\, Directed/Produced by Brett Fallentine \nFind a few initial California airdates for the PBS premiere of FIRE ON THE HILL below\, and be sure to check your local PBS station listings for more airdates: \n\n\n\n\nStation\nDate\nTime\nTimezone\nDay part\n\n\nKCET\n6/17/2023\n9 PM\nPT\nPrimetime\n\n\nKVCR\n6/17/23\n6 PM\nPT\nEvening\n\n\nWORLD\n6/19/23\n4 PM\nPT\nLate afternoon/Evening\n\n\nKOCE\n6/20/23\n9 PM\nPT\nPrimetime\n\n\n\n\nFor more information on the film\, visit https://www.fireonthehill.la/ \nThis project is supported by a California Documentary Project Grant.

SUMMARY:SAN FRANCISCO–Film panel discussion: SALLY
DESCRIPTION:SAN FRANCISCO– View sneak preview of excerpts of SALLY\, a documentary-in-progress about the life and work of Sally Gearhart\, lesbian feminist activist\, scholar and fantasy author. With a panel discussion featuring SALLY director Deborah Craig\, Jewelle Gomez\, Ruth Mahaney and Cherrie Moraga. \nEvent description: \nPanel: Sally: A Documentary Film in Progress | San Francisco Public Library (sfpl.org) \nSunday\, July 9\, 2023 |2-3:30 pm \nKoret Auditorium \nMain Library | 100 Larkin Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94102 \nContact Telephone: 415-557-4400 \nContact Email: hormel@sfpl.org \nThis program is drop-in only (no registration necessary). All SFPL locations are wheelchair accessible. For accommodations (such as ASL or language interpretation)\, call (415) 557-4557 or contact accessibility@sfpl.org. Requesting at least 3 business days in advance will help ensure availability. \nFilm description: \nSally Gearhart was a charismatic radical lesbian activist\, author\, and academic who spearheaded the 1970s and 80s lesbian feminist movement yet has been largely forgotten. But the film SALLY is not just a straightforward biography of this “hidden figure” deserving more recognition. It also shows the symbiotic relationship between spokeswomen like Sally and movements for social change\, which are necessarily collective. And it highlights Sally’s captivating iconoclasm and contradictions: SALLY is both a wild lesbian safari and a timely and deeply moving meditation on the tensions inherent in revolutionary movements: ideological principles versus human realities\, separatism versus mainstreaming\, and throwing down the gauntlet versus reaching across the aisle. Ultimately\, Sally and compatriots’ key contributions can help guide our current\, urgent battles for social justice. \nAbout the panelists: \nDeborah Craig is an award-winning documentary director and producer whose films use compelling personal stories to raise awareness about the challenges and strengths of underrepresented communities. Her work has played at LGBTQ+\, women’s and documentary film festivals in the U.S. and internationally. Deborah’s most recent short\, A Great Ride\, a 33-minute documentary about lesbians and aging\, premiered at the Frameline LGBTQ+ Film Festival in San Francisco in 2018\, was picked up for distribution by Frameline\, has screened at over 50 film festivals around the globe and has won multiple awards. \nJewelle Gomez (CaboVerdean/Wampanoag/Ioway; she/her) is a novelist\, poet\, playwright and cultural worker. Her eight books include three collections of poetry and the first Black Lesbian vampire novel\, The Gilda Stories. In print for 30 years\, it was recently optioned by Cheryl Dunye for a TV mini-series. Her recent collection of poetry\, Still Water\, was published in June 2022. Her new play\, Unpacking in Ptown\, will premiere at New Conservatory Theater in 2024. \nRuth Mahaney has taught LGBT History at City College of San Francisco for over 35 years and was a collective member of Modern Times Bookstore for 35 years. She has lived in San Francisco since 1971\, when she first met Sally Gearhart. She and Sally both taught at SF State University and both were members of the Lesbian Caucus\, a group of Lesbian activists attempting to advocate for Lesbian Rights with the City government. \nCherrie Moraga is an internationally recognized poet\, playwright\, essayist and memoirist. She began work as professional writer as a co-editor (with Gloria Anzaldúa) of the avant-garde feminist anthology\, This Bridge Called My Back:  Writings by Radical Women of Color. As a political and literary essayist\, she has published several collections of writings\, including:  A Xicana Codex of Changing Consciousness\, Loving in The War Years: Lo que nunca pasó por sus labios\, The Last Generation and Waiting in the Wings: Portrait of a Queer Motherhood. \nConnect \nSally – Facebook \nSally – Website \nFor more information\, visit https://sfpl.org/events/2023/07/09/panel-sally-documentary-film-progress \nThis project is supported by a California Documentary Project Grant.

SUMMARY:SAN FRANCISCO—CHINATOWN RISING at 4 Star Theater
DESCRIPTION:Still from CHINATOWN RISING. \nSAN FRANCISCO—Join 4 Star Theater in San Francisco for a series of special screenings of CHINATOWN RISING. \nChinatown Rising \n4 Star Theater \n2200 Clement Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94121 \nFriday\, July 14\, 2023\, 8:00 PM \nSaturday\, July 15\, 2023\, 10:00 AM \nSaturday\, July 15\, 2023\, 8:00 PM \nSunday\, July 16\, 2023\, 1:00 PM \nAgainst the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-1960s\, a young San Francisco Chinatown resident armed with a 16mm camera and leftover film scraps from a local TV station\, turned his lens onto his community. Totaling more than 20\,000 feet of film (10 hours)\, Harry Chuck’s exquisite unreleased footage has captured a divided community’s struggles for self-determination. Chinatown Rising is a documentary film about the Asian-American Movement from the perspective of the young residents on the front lines of their historic neighborhood in transition. Through publicly challenging the conservative views of their elders\, their demonstrations and protests of the 1960s-1980s rattled the once quiet streets during the community’s shift in power. Forty-five years later\, in intimate interviews these activists recall their roles and experiences in response to the need for social change. \nThis film is supported by a California Documentary Project grant.

SUMMARY:FORT BRAGG–Magic Lantern Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Magic Lantern Workshop at the Larry Spring Museum\nSaturday\, July 15\, 2023\nSunday\, July 16\, 2023 \nAddress: 225 E Redwood Avenue\, Fort Bragg 95437 \nCost: $25 (no one turned away due to lack of funds) \n**Email: director@larryspringmuseum to register** \n\n\n\nJoin artist in residence\, Melissa Ferrari for a two-day experimental nonfiction animation workshop. Here we will playfully explore aspects of both the observed and unseeable worlds. This workshop will introduce participants to various experimental animation approaches that can be used to find and visualize truths outside conventional documentary modes.  \nSchedule: \nDay 1: Intro to Experimental Nonfiction Animation & Archival Documentary \nSaturday\, July 15th 10am-1pm \nLocation: Larry Spring Museum of Common Sense Physics \n. \nDay 2: Landscape as Archive \nSunday\, July 16th 10am-1pm \nLocation: A beach in Fort Bragg.  Exact location tbd. \nArtist bio: \nMelissa Ferrari is a nonfiction filmmaker\, experimental animator\, magic lanternist and educator who seeks to acquaint folklores of the past with contemporary culture. In exposing peripheral histories\, she aims to unveil the wonder that lies in the shadow of nonfiction\, rather than fiction. Originally from Virginia\, Melissa is now based in Los Angeles where she received an Experimental Animation M.F.A. from CalArts. Her films and magic lantern performances have been shown internationally in venues such as Hot Docs\, Ottawa International Animation Festival\, Ann Arbor Film Festival\, and Hauser & Wirth LA.  \n\n\n\nAbout Redwood Time: \nRedwood Time is a multi-disciplinary project that encourages us to re-evaluate the dominant narratives of settlement and resource development along the northern Californian coast. Through creative exploration and reflection\, we will produce a collaborative account of Fort Bragg that reflects formerly excluded local histories and worldviews\, providing us with a richer understanding of the past we inherit and the territory we inhabit. \nThe central object of our reflection is a timeline affixed to the commemorative redwood round that has dominated our downtown center since its dedication in 1943. As with similar redwood rounds\, Fort Bragg’s public memorial and timeline privileges linear time as the driver of history and naturalizes far-flung Euro- and human-centric events as the default approach to understanding our past and presence here in Fort Bragg. \nOver the next two years\, “Redwood Time” will unfold as a focused series of live performances\, public art installations\, and community gatherings designed to generate new understandings of our relationship to our shared geography. Together we will create an empathic and nuanced counter-narrative that will draw into question our inherited notions of individuality. Our activities will culminate in the creation of reimagined versions of the round and a new legend that reveals our messy and vital connectedness. \n— \nAny views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this evening’s happenings do not necessarily represent those of California Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities. \n\nThe Larry Spring Museum is a registered 501(c) (3) organization EIN #32-0604596 \n\nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:FORT BRAGG–Magic Lantern Screening
DESCRIPTION:Magic Lantern Screening at the Larry Spring Museum\n Salon de Physique & Relict: A Phantasmagoria  \nSaturday\, July 22\, 2023 | 8 pm PT  \nCost: $10 (no one turned away due to lack of funds) \nAddress: 225 E Redwood Avenue\, Fort Bragg 95437 \n\n\n\nSupported by a 2023 California Humanities For All Project Grant\, The Larry Spring Museum kicks off their project Redwood Time with artist Melissa Ferrari. In residency at the Larry Spring Museum\, Ferrari will create a site-specific adaptation of a Phantasmagoria Salon de Physique (or “Physics Parlor”) that will feature an evening of animation experiments\, installation work\, and a magic lantern expanded cinema performance at the Larry Spring Museum. This Salon de Physique will be a series of experiments – an animated cabinet of curiosities and magic lantern projections – prioritizing expositions of the preternatural in the local environment. Rooted in the curatorial philosophy of Redwood Time\, the animations will seek local rhythms and ecologies that fall outside of conventional systems of value\, time\, and scale. Historically\, the intent of the Salon de Physique was to magnify the space between the natural world and the supernatural through the wonder of science spectacle\, shaking the participants’ foundations in what is “real” and “rational” in a playground for Natural Philosophy.  \nArtist bio: \nMelissa Ferrari is a nonfiction filmmaker\, experimental animator\, magic lanternist and educator who seeks to acquaint folklores of the past with contemporary culture. In exposing peripheral histories\, she aims to unveil the wonder that lies in the shadow of nonfiction\, rather than fiction. Originally from Virginia\, Melissa is now based in Los Angeles where she received an Experimental Animation M.F.A. from CalArts. Her films and magic lantern performances have been shown internationally in venues such as Hot Docs\, Ottawa International Animation Festival\, Ann Arbor Film Festival\, and Hauser & Wirth LA.  \n\n\n\nAbout Redwood Time: \nRedwood Time is a multi-disciplinary project that encourages us to re-evaluate the dominant narratives of settlement and resource development along the northern Californian coast. Through creative exploration and reflection\, we will produce a collaborative account of Fort Bragg that reflects formerly excluded local histories and worldviews\, providing us with a richer understanding of the past we inherit and the territory we inhabit. \nThe central object of our reflection is a timeline affixed to the commemorative redwood round that has dominated our downtown center since its dedication in 1943. As with similar redwood rounds\, Fort Bragg’s public memorial and timeline privileges linear time as the driver of history and naturalizes far-flung Euro- and human-centric events as the default approach to understanding our past and presence here in Fort Bragg. \nOver the next two years\, “Redwood Time” will unfold as a focused series of live performances\, public art installations\, and community gatherings designed to generate new understandings of our relationship to our shared geography. Together we will create an empathic and nuanced counter-narrative that will draw into question our inherited notions of individuality. Our activities will culminate in the creation of reimagined versions of the round and a new legend that reveals our messy and vital connectedness. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:OAKLAND–Exhibit: The Audacity to Believe
DESCRIPTION:OAKLAND- Come experience “The Audacity to Believe”\, a tribute to the life\, legacy\, and impact of an Oakland giant: Dr. Marcus A. Foster\, the urban education activist and superhero who gave his life for the children of Oakland.  \nDr. Marcus A. Foster was the definition of a community superhero. The first Black Superintendent of any major school system in the United States: Oakland Unified\, he was a trailblazer whose life was cut short in 1973 due to his courage to bring innovation and accountability to the school system. He encouraged and challenged teachers and administrators to have “the audacity to believe” in the inherent talents of all young people\, and pioneered a “Master Plan Citizens Committee” tasking each neighborhood of the city to draw up their community-led visions as part of the district’s strategic plan. His dedication to youth and community made him a fierce advocate and beloved leader. As a teacher who began her first year during his tenure shared\, his presence and work made it so “We knew we were on our way to excellence.” His assassination cut that work short and left a community in mourning. Curated by local artist and storyteller Patanisha Williams as part of the Marcus Foster Education Institute’s 50th anniversary celebratory events\, “The Audacity to Believe” pays tribute to his life and impact\, and creates a long-needed space for the community to remember and heal. \nOn view: July 31 – November 30 2023  \nLocation: The historic African American Museum and Library of Oakland is located at 659 14th Street\, Oakland. The Museum and Library wheelchair accessible and is open and free to the public at the following hours: \nMonday – Thursday 10 am – 5:30 pm \nFriday 12 pm – 5:30 pm \nSaturday 10 am – 5:30 pm \nFor more information\, visit: https://www.marcusfoster.org/events/audacity-to-believe-exhibit \nThe Marcus Foster Education Institute (MFEI) was established by Dr. Marcus A. Foster in 1973 prior to his passing. 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of MFEI and our work engaging community to see improved conditions\, experiences\, and outcomes for K-12 and postsecondary BIPOC and first-generation students. To learn more about MFEI\, visit www.marcusfoster.org. For more information about the exhibit\, contact info@marcusfoster.org. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Quick Grant.
