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.

SUMMARY:USC PAM: Stenciling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn the history of stenciling and create your own artwork using different stenciling techniques with printmaking artist Kiyomi Fukui Nannery.

SUMMARY:USC PAM: Exhibition Tour Imprinting in Time
DESCRIPTION:Join guest curator Danielle Shang as she explores USC PAM’s newest exhibition Imprinting In Time- Chinese Printmaking at the Beginning of a New Era. During this gallery tour\, Shang will provide an in-depth look at the extraordinary prints of Chinese artists from the 1980s to the present featured in the exhibition. \nMore About the Exhibition: \nImprinting In Time surveys printmaking by Chinese artists from the 1980s to the present\, examining the unique narrative of the medium within the contexts of cultural\, academic\, sociopolitical\, and economic changes in recent Chinese history. From its inception\, the woodblock has been given singular priority for articulating social commentary and nationalistic sentiments since the 1930s. The emergence of etching\, lithograph\, silkscreen\, and digital devices in the 1980s added new energy to the medium. In response to the current decline of printmaking in the art market\, a handful of artists are searching for ways to advance the medium and participate in global conversations. \n  \nMore About the Guest Speaker: \nDanielle Shang is a Los Angeles-based art historian and exhibition organizer. Her research focuses on the impact of globalization\, urban renewal\, social change\, and class restructuring on art-making and the narrative of art history. She has organized exhibitions by artists such as Amalia Pica\, Katie Ryan， Simphiwe Ndzube\, LIU Wa\, CHEN Zhou\, and ZHOU Yilun\, among many others. She was also responsible for organizing campaigns and large group exhibitions of Porsche Young Chinese Artists of the Year and Net-A-Porter Incredible Female Artist Award.

Inspired by a meditative experience at a Buddhist retreat\, the Oakland-based Taiwanese artist\, Nick Dong\, designed a series of immersive installations to recapture our personal and collective spirit. Learn about the artist’s practice and influences before experiencing the work for yourself. \n  \nFor questions or to request accommodations for this event please contact Cristina Hernandez-Guerrero at ch45852@usc.edu . For additional information please visit https://pacificasiamuseum.usc.edu/ \nPlease note that the zoom URL will be shared a week before the event. \n  \nMore about the Artist: \nDong is a conceptual metalsmith\, mixed-media sculptor\, and socio-commodity engineer. From a multidisciplinary maker/craftsman practice he founded studioDONG and leads a team to produce experiential sculptures\, objects\, and installations that combine an advanced knowledge of materials and techniques to engage an audience’s experience beyond the optical. As a Taiwanese-American\, Dong identifies himself as a 21st-century continuation of Wen-ren\, the Chinese cultural lineage of intellect-scholars\, in which each work is a quest of self-evolution\, a vehicle of sharing philosophy. By carefully integrating scientific and handcrafted components\, supernatural movements\, light\, sound\, and various interactive or situational strategies\, Dong’s work produces a fully immersive event\, only complete once a viewer steps into space and the encounter is experienced. \n  \nMore information on Dong’s work can be found on his website: https://www.studiodong.com/

SUMMARY:USC PAM: Nick Dong: Mendsmith Project
DESCRIPTION:The USC Pacific Asia Museum and artist Nick Dong invite you to participate in an intimate and healing artistic endeavor as part of Divine Immersion: The Experiential Art of Nick Dong. \nThis project emerged after a close friend of Dong’s lost her husband and all that remained was his wedding ring. Dong wanted to do something more meaningful and lasting than offering his sympathies. Given his background in metalsmithing\, Dong offered to craft their rings together\, forging a newly fashioned piece\, bringing positivity and healing to her grief. \nAs part of USC PAM’s special exhibition\, selected participants will be asked to bring two sentimental jewelry pieces or other personal objects to be “mended” together. Working collaboratively with the participant\, Dong will use the stories and memories of their relationship to guide the final design\, marrying the two pieces together to form a new personal item. Participants will be able to keep the newly mended pieces free of charge. \nTo apply to participate\, please RSVP and fill out the following google form before July 5\, 2021. \nApply here to google form \nPlease note that not all RSVP’s/applications will be selected to participate. \nNick Dong will be working on each piece in the gallery during the museum’s open hours. \nMore information on Dong’s work can be found on his website: \nhttps://www.studiodong.com/ \nMore information on Divine Immersion: The Experiential Art of Nick Dong can be found on the USC Pacific Asia Museum website: \nhttps://pacificasiamuseum.usc.edu/exhibitions/upcoming/ \n\nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:USC PAM: Conversation@PAM: Reimagining the USC PAM Courtyard- Session I
DESCRIPTION:The USC Pacific Asia Museum is looking for the community’s support in reimagining its beloved courtyard through a two-session conversation panel with local specialists in the fields of historic gardens and architecture. Constructed in 1925\, the courtyard has transformed over the past 90 years to become an intercultural hub in Pasadena\, California\, transitioning from a private residence into a community-utilized space. \nAs USC PAM celebrates its 50th anniversary\, it is looking for ways to evolve in its accessibility and community service. These sessions are intended for conversations about the different ways in which this particular space in the museum can serve that goal. We hope to work with the public and our panel of urbanists\, architects\, and botanists to explore ways of increasing accessibility while preserving the courtyard’s treasured classical Chinese garden style. \nThursday\, July 8th\, 4:00 PM \nSession I: \nJoin preservation architect Kelly Sutherlin McLeod\, FAIA and Phillip Bloom\, the Huntington Libraries Curator of the Chinese Garden & Director of the Center for East Asian Studies as they talk about the history of the USC PAM courtyard and Chinese gardens. \n  \nThursday\, August 5th\, 4:00 PM \nSession II: \nJoin our panel of experts for an interactive conversation to explore ways USC PAM can honor the courtyard’s past while making necessary changes for inclusivity and accessibility in the future. \nPanelist include: \nBethany Montagano\, Director\, Pacific Asia Museum \nKelly Sutherlin McLeod\, FAIA \nPhillip Bloom\, Curator of the Chinese Garden at The Huntington Library\, Art Collections\, and Botanical Gardens \nDon Waston\, USC  Pacific Asia Museum Docent \nDiscussion moderated by Vinayak Bharne\, Adjunct Associate Professor of Urbanism\, USC \n  \nFor questions or to request accommodations for this event please contact Cristina Hernandez-Guerrero at ch45852@usc.edu .
