Idea (ex)CHANGE: A Symposium Celebrating 25 Years of Art and Community
with Asian American Literary Review
Saturday, December 1
Plenaries and Discussion Sessions: 1 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Reception: 6 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Join us for a symposium celebrating two publications that highlight Asian Arts Initiative’s history of programming and resonance with the issues facing our communities. This fall’s Asian American Literary Review serves as a catalog for our 25th Anniversary Celebration Weekend, providing a look at the commissioned artworks, (ex)CHANGE project, as well as a curriculum by Dan S. Wang and pop up art by Colette Fu. Additionally, Asian Arts Initiative’s Neighborhood Programs Report to the Field documents our community programs from 2013-2018, and conveys lessons from the field at large through essays from Roberto Bedoya and Maria Rosario Jackson.
The symposium will include plenaries featuring artists, curators, and cultural workers reflecting on the themes of the publications, discussion sessions further exploring topics raised in plenary sessions, and a publication release reception. (ex)CHANGE: History Place Presence has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.

Asian Arts Initiative Pearl Street Block Party
A neighborhood arts festival
Saturday, September 28, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Culminating Community Feast starts at 5 p.m.
1200 block of Pearl Street in Chinatown North/ Callowhill
Asian Arts Initiative is excited to be planning the first ever Pearl Street Block Party, a neighborhood arts festival to celebrate the rich cultural diversity and artistic community of Chinatown North and Callowhill! The 1200 block of Pearl Street will come alive with a range of activities including a community furniture build of tables and chairs; artwork and featured performances by our Social Practice Lab artists in residence and other creative individuals; and a shared community feast to culminate the day!
The furniture build will be led by Oakland-based landscape architect and artist Walter Hood, who is helping us to imagine how the underutilized alleyway behind our building can be transformed into a space filled with art and life. At the community feast, we'll share the design concepts that he has created for Pearl Street based on community input collected this past spring and summer.
