Guided Search: Literature, Children

Celebrate the summer by getting to know your fellow artists! Join us for another Asian American Artists Town Hall to get a sneak peek of new works, network, and pitch your projects, events, and artistic opportunities or just introduce yourself!

In celebration of Asian Arts Initiative’s 25th Anniversary, Then and Now includes an array of commissioned works by Asian American artists focused on exploring community-building and community-engaged arts with and within the Asian/American community in Philadelphia. 

Inspired by her work History in RGB, artist Maria Dumlao will lead a workshop in which participants will get a glimpse of the artist’s methods and engage in a process of understanding color interaction and relativity. Using assorted color papers and filters, images, and words, the participants will collaborate on a collage that addresses their individual and/or community’s visibility and invisibility in/within Philadelphia.

Sakura Week is a week-long series of events at Shofuso Japanese House and Garden that offer a daily taste of traditional and contemporary Japan.
