SUMMARY:USC PAM: Workshop@PAM: Object Stories: A Writing Workshop with Narrated Objects inspired by Searching for Home: Stories of Displacement and Survival
DESCRIPTION:Explore the power of objects. Objects\, like people\, can tell you where they come from\, can evoke emotion\, and tell stories of love\, loss\, displacement\, struggle\, and so much more. \nJoin Andrea Richards from the creative collective Narrated Objects as she guides participants through writing and meditation exercises aimed at unlocking the storytelling potential within our cherished possessions. Participants are encouraged to bring an object of personal significance\, one that holds a special attachment. \nRefreshments provided. \nRsvp Required \nMore about the exhibition: \nIn Humaira Abid’s exquisitely haunting exhibition Searching for Home\, the artist’s sculpted wooden creations invoke the troubling specter of the global refugee crisis and its trails of ruined lives. Inspired by real accounts of displaced people- all personally researched and documented by Abid- the exhibition hints at untold tragedies surrounding the collateral victims of persecution\, political conflicts\, ethnic cleansing\, and natural disasters\, a disproportionate number of whom are women and girls. Through her chosen medium of wood\, Abid unleashes the innate properties of the material to suggest the ineffable weight and gravity of this continuing humanitarian crisis. \nThis program is free with the cost of admission (Admission to the museum is $15 and can be paid upon arrival at our Visitor Services Desk. More information about our admission rates can be found here)

SUMMARY:USC PAM:  Workshop@PAM: The Joy Luck Mom Club – Participatory Video
DESCRIPTION:There is always something about your immigrant mother that you never understood while growing up. It is through having a “Joy Luck Mom Club moment” – an epiphanous moment when you realize something about yourself because of something you learned about your mother that was previously kept secret. Inspired by the film The Joy Luck Club (1993)\, directed by Wayne Wang and adapted from Amy Tan’s novel\, this participatory video workshop attempts to contribute to the untold/unheard/silenced and forgotten narratives of women’s migration. Participants are invited to bring an object\, photo\, or memory to create a one-minute video letter or dedication to their mother (or to another relative of importance). \n  \nParticipants will learn how to apply basic video production techniques from storyboarding\, shooting\, and sound to editing. Completed videos will be screened at the end of the workshop. Participants are not expected to have any formal media production experience and all levels are encouraged and welcome. \n  \nMobile phones or other cameras are welcome.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Artists Talks@PAM: Ken Lum and Jennifer Ling-Datchuk
DESCRIPTION:USC PAM presents exhibited artists Ken Lum and Jennifer Ling Datchuk from Another Beautiful Country as they discuss their work in an intimate gallery conversation. Drawing from the Chinese translation of America\, (美國/měiguó) and the American-born Chinese abbreviation\, ABC\, Another Beautiful Country\, features artworks that portray nuanced interplays between Chinese American identities and representations\, challenging conventional notions of nationhood. Resisting stereotypes and globalization’s dehumanizing aspects\, Another Beautiful Country brings together artworks as scenes of cross-cultural sharing. \nFree with cost of admission \nRSVP recommended \nMore about the Artists: \nJennifer Ling Datchuk /玲 \nJennifer Ling Datchuk was born in Warren\, Ohio and raised in Brooklyn\, New York. Her work is an exploration of her layered identity – as a woman\, a Chinese woman\, as an “American\,”and as a third culture kid. Trained in ceramics\, Datchuk works with porcelain and other materials often associated with traditional women’s work\, such as textiles and hair\, to discuss fragility\, beauty\, femininity\, intersectionality\, identity\, and personal history. Through these materials\, she explores how Western beauty standards influenced the East\, how the non-white body is commodified and sold\, and how women’s – globally\, girls’ – work is still a major economic driver whose workers still struggle for equality. Datchuk holds an MFA in Artisanry from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a BFA in Crafts from Kent State University. In 2017\, she received the Emerging Voices award from the American Craft Council\, and in 2020 was named a United States Artist Fellow in Craft. Her work is in the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, San Antonio Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She is an Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Arizona State University and lives and maintains a studio practice in Phoenix\, Arizona. \nKen Lum / 林蔭庭 \nKen Lum is an artist with an international exhibition record that includes Documenta\, the Venice Biennale\, Sao Paolo Bienal\, Shanghai Biennale\, Gwangju Biennale\, Carnegie Triennial and the Whitney Biennial. He is co-founder and founding editor of the Yishu Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art. He is a prolific writer and has given 6 keynote addresses including the 2022 congress of the International Association of Empirical Aesthetics in Philadelphia. A book of his writings titled Everything is Relevant: Writings on Art and Life 1991 – 2018 was published in 2020 by Concordia University Press. In 2020\, he wrote a screenplay titled The Cook about Chinese contract laborers in the 19th century. In 2021\, he penned a second screenplay about the forced expulsion of Chinese from Tacoma\, Washington Territory in 1885. Lum has realized numerous permanent public art commissions\, including co-curating Shanghai Modern: 1919 – 1945. A long-time professor\, Lum is currently the Marilyn Jordan Taylor Presidential Professor and Chair of the Department of Fine Arts\, Stuart Weitzman School of Design\, University of Pennsylvania.
