A Great Opening for Icons


Thank you everyone who made it out to the opening on October 23rd. There was enough food to go around...or was there? But I was glad to see everyone come out. People whom I haven't seen in a while. As well as meeting new people. That's what it's all about.
I've been to several funera… Continue

food at the ICONS opening

Sorry fellas...I just got word that there isn't going to be as much food as I thought there's going to be at the reception on October 23rd. There's just not enough money to buy all those cheeseballs as promised. But you're all invited to join me afterwards for a no-host drink at Red's Place and then a scrumptuous dinner of Roast Pork at the New Lun Ting on Jackson Street immediately following the opening.

Actually, I had planned to do that on my own after the opening. But you're invited to join… Continue

The Chinese Culture Center Bridge

Back in 1971 we protested against the building of the bridge from the
holiday inn to portsmouth square. Look at that bridge
today! It's an eye sore. It is closed off to the
public. The hotel now wants to distance itself from the community
as much as possible. Had they listened to us, they would have
done themselves a favor and save themselves a ton of money. They just wrote us off as a bunch of
radical commies.

Chinese Culture Center Chinatown Heritage Walking Tour June 2009


A group of primary school children and their teacher speak about how they feel for the Chinatown Heritage Walking Tour offered by Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco.

(Panel Discussion) Paintings, Posters and Propaganda: Artists Reflect and Connect with Community


November 12, 2008

The Chinese Culture Center and Kearny Street Workshop invite you to join in on a discussion among five artists about the development of their art practices, their influences and how they work within their communities.

Nancy Hom is an artist, writer, organizer, and arts administrator with over 30 years of experience in the non-profit arts. As an artist, curator, and organizer, she has worked in many communities in San Francisco, including the South of Market, Manilatown, Chinatown, Japantown, Western Addition, and the Mission. Nancy served as executive director of Kearny Street Workshop from 1995-2003.

Leland Wong, artist, illustrator, and photographer, is best known for the silkscreen posters he has designed and produced for more than thirty five years, particularly the series of posters he produced annually for the Nihonmachi Street Fair from 1974-2004. He is the owner of A-Town Graphics, a one-man photography and graphic design business.

Lenore Chinn’s paintings explore the super-realistic depiction of a wide spectrum of people of color, lesbians and same sex couples. Her portraits documenting the historical evolution of San Francisco’s queer community challenge the social conventions that currently constitute the racialized order of things. Lenore is a founding member of Lesbians in the Visual Arts, Queer Cultural Center and the Asian American Women Artists Association.

Choppy Oshiro, graphic designer and illustrator, created the promotional material for the Chinese Culture Center’s exhibition Icons of Presence: Asian American Activist Art. Her work was recently featured in Dirty Work: artists eye domestic labor at Kearny Street Workshop.

Richard Godinez is an ex-political cartoonist who creates large-scale oil paintings and pastels that protest imperialism and globalization. Richard is an associate professor of visual art at Diablo Valley College.

Robynn Takayama (moderator) is an award-winning audio producer. She was segment producer for Crossing East, a Peabody-awarded radio documentary on Asian immigration. Her art projects have been presented through video, web, and gallery installation in San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
