The Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC) presents Resistance, a visual arts exhibition as part of the 19th annual United States of Asian America Festival. Curated by Pamela Ybañez, this group exhibition features multidisciplinary works of 10 Asian and Pacific Islander artists from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond exploring themes of gentrification, displacement, placemaking, and the artist’s role in the community through installation, performance, video, and more. Creating a space of expression, exploration, and reflection, the exhibition strives to engage community members to feel empowered and arts communities in San Francisco, Oakland, and elsewhere to intersect in order to present possible solutions around the complex issues of displacement that artists and a multitude of others currently face.
Resistance is presented at SOMArts in partnership with APICC. For more information, visit: http://www.somarts.org/apiccresistance/

Declarations for the New Year" at Southern Exposure
Exhibition on view: January 9 – 30, 2016
Closing Reception: Saturday, January 30, 2016
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 12:00 – 6:00 PM

Southern Exposure and Related Tactics Collective (Michele Carlson, Weston Teruya, and Nate Watson) invite 40 artists, writers, cultural producers, and civic-minded instigators to make short declarations or calls to action for 2016. The exhibition is the second iteration of our successful 4x40 group program.

Declarations will manifest in four separate forms – posters designed by Shawn Tamaribuchi, postcards, buttons, and radical mapping – so that audiences may take away these messages as provocations or reminders to post at home, send to a friend, and wear on their body. With this gathering of provocations, we aim to spark a dialogue to carry us forward in the coming year.

The concept of “Hungry Ghosts” is common throughout many Asian cultures and religions. It typically refers to the lost spirit of a deceitful, jealous or greedy person or someone who died in a violent or unhappy way. These hungry ghosts roam the earth burdened by unmet needs, insatiable hungers, and intense desires often for a particular substance or object. Placating these ghosts often involves special ceremonies and offerings of fine food, “ghost money”, burning incense, and candles.

The Hungry Ghosts exhibition explores the unsatiated ghosts of our individual and collective historical struggles and the ways they continue to haunt us today. In the era “after identity politics” when many have been quick to proclaim America as being “Post-Racial” or “Post-Feminist”, we have seen the specters of unresolved struggles with racism, sexism, homophobia, and economic inequities re-emerge into public consciousness in both overtly violent and subtle ways. Illuminating these shape-shifting specters (and their illusive progeny) of historical struggles, the artists in this exhibition will serve as mediums for our Hungry Ghosts.
