Speakers: Skyler Chin and Sita Sunil, Playwrights of Illegal; Jeffrey Lo, Director of The Paper Dreams of Harry Chin, Playwright

One island, two plays: Skyler Chin and Sita Sunil will discuss their new musical Illegal with Filipino-American playwright Jeffrey Lo, who recently directed The Paper Dreams of Harry Chin, which like Illegal dramatizes the family traumas created by racially exclusionary policies carried out at Angel Island. Skyler Chin was inspired to co-write Illegal by his own ancestors’ experiences at Angel Island, and Sita Sunil’s work as an artist is also shaped by her family’s history of immigration. In addition to his directing work, Jeffrey Lo’s playwriting often deals with issues of Asian American identity. This will be a stimulating conversation across generations and genres.

Speaker:

Ed Tepporn, Executive Director, Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation

Description: Angel Island in San Francisco Bay is a crucial spot marking the history of exclusionary, race-based immigration policy. Its immigration station has sometimes been called “the Ellis Island of the West.” But Angel Island was an ambivalent gateway, a place of incarceration and exclusion for migrants as well as an entry for half a million newcomers from 80 countries, mostly from Asia. Despite its significance, this important historical site was almost lost. Ed Tepporn will discuss how activists saved this site, current day efforts, and its meaning for the future.

Undoing Time: Art and Histories of Incarceration | Julio Morales (Fall 2022 Speaker Series)

Lecture, 75 minutes; Part of the Fall 2022 Speaker Series (Landscapes of Migration, Incarceration and Resistance)

Click the title and scroll to the gray box below to access the video.

Recording of presentation at @BAMPFA Osher Theater; free and open to the public Friday, November 4, 2022

Speaker: Julio Morales, Artist and Curator

Description: Curator Julio Morales talks about his current BAMPFA exhibition, Undoing Time: Art and Histories of Incarceration, which considers the cultures and institutions of confinement that have been centuries in the making. The exhibition features newly commissioned works based on art historical images of incarceration. The twelve contemporary artists in the exhibition—Carolina Aranibar-Fernández, Juan Brener, Raven Chacon, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Ashley Hunt, Sandra de la Loza, Michael Rohd, Paul Rucker, Xaviera Simmons, Stephanie Syjuco, Vincent Valdez, Mario Ybarra Jr.—invest in community collaboration, work in an expansive range of media, and rethink traditional archival research to consider how artistic expression reveals the underlying logics of criminality and correction.

Julio César Morales, by deploying a range of media and visual strategies, investigates issues of migration, underground economies, and labor on the personal and global scales. Morales’ practice explores diverse mediums specific to each project or body of work. He has painted watercolor illustrations that diagram human trafficking methods, employed the DJ turntable, produced video and time-based pieces, reenacted a famous meal–all to elucidate social interactions and political perspectives.

Morales’ artwork has been shown at venues internationally, including; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; MUCA Roma, Mexico City; Prospect 3 Biennale, New Orleans, LA; Lyon Biennale, France, and Istanbul Biennale, Turkey. His work is in private and public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; Pérez Art Museum, Miami, FL; The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; The Kadist Foundation, San Francisco and Paris, and Deutsche Bank, and among others. In May 2018, Morales was awarded the Phoenix Art Museum’s Arlene and Morton Scult Contemporary Forum Award, which culminated in a major solo exhibition in 2019. In 2021, a solo exhibition of Morales work will be presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tuscon, AZ.

Speakers: Barnali Ghosh, Artist, Community Activist, and Designer

Barnali Ghosh talks about creating the award-winning Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour, part of a growing movement of activist-led, place-based storytelling. She and partner Anirvan Chatterjee have led thousands of people through walks on Berkeley streets revealing little-known histories of immigrant freedom fighters in the 1910s and queer and feminist organizers in more recent years. Ghosh also led the campaign to rename part of Berkeley’s Shattuck Avenue after Kala Bagai, an early 20th-century community leader who immigrated through Angel Island. As part of her explorations of place and identity, Ghosh has expanded her art practice into photographic self-portraits that highlight the beauty of the native plants of California and the fabrics of South Asia.

Barnali Ghosh is a designer, artist, storyteller, and transportation justice advocate. She co-founded the award-winning Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour. Her work attempts to bridge homes and homelands, and create spaces for belonging. She is active in Bay Area Solidarity Summer, Walk Bike Berkeley, the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, and the Berkeley Reimagining Public Safety Task Force. She has a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from UC Berkeley. You can see her work on instagram @berkeleywali and @berkeleysouthasian or at www.barnalighosh.art.

Speakers:

Lenora Lee, Artistic Director, Lenora Lee Dance

Ava Roy, Artistic Director, We Players

Co-sponsored by UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies

Description: Choreographer Lenora Lee and theater director Ava Roy will discuss San Francisco Bay’s Angel Island and Alcatraz Island as creative catalysts and settings for their site-inspired performances addressing migration, incarceration, and resistance.

Lee’s dance performance Within These Walls was inspired by the experiences of people incarcerated at the Angel Island Immigration Station and premiered inside the detention barracks there on the 135th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act. It will be performed by UC Berkeley students at Zellerbach Playhouse in February 2023, in a restaging directed by Sansan Kwan. Lee’s latest research-based dance work, In the Movement (at ODC Sept. 1-11), focuses on family separations and the mass detention of immigrants. It was conceived to be performed at Alcatraz, and incorporates footage shot in the island prison.

Roy used the entirety of Angel Island as a stage for a peripatetic production of Homer’s Odyssey that led the audience on a journey over hills, beaches and ruins, exploring notions of exile, home, and the wages of war. On Alcatraz, she examined notions of human freedom, justice and redemption in a three-year residency with the National Park Service on Alcatraz. In addition to directing a production of Hamlet on Alcatraz, Roy collaborated with youth at the San Francisco Juvenile Justice Center and artists incarcerated at San Quentin. She brought together artists and the public in a 4-day Alcatraz Symposium on Freedom and Justice that included performance art, music, dance, visual art exhibitions, ritual, and panel discussions with formerly incarcerated artists as well as victim awareness activists.

Black Liberation Walking Tour: Live and Recorded Tours | David Peters (Fall 2021 Colloquium)

Lecture, 56 minutes; Part of the Fall 2021 Colloquium (Place-Based Storytelling Techniques and Technologies)

Click the title and scroll to the gray box below to access the video.

Can walking tours be an effective measure in countering the loss of historically and culturally significant spaces? How does the expansion of public awareness of the past feed into activism surrounding present day development? What are the benefits of transitioning a live neighborhood tour into a self-guided tour? On Juneteenth of this year, the Black Liberation Walking Tour launched in West Oakland. The project is a new walking tour, or community-led cultural asset map, of the Hoover Durant neighborhood that celebrates its multi-generational Black history and culture. The tour is self-guided via mobile phone, has nine locations, incorporating QR codes, and takes about an hour. Visitors on the tour listen to a story at each location altogether experiencing a narrative that begins with the early West Coast civil rights movement through the second wave of the Great Migration to the Black Liberation actions of the present day. A project of the West Oakland Cultural Action Network (WOCAN), the BLWT uses oral history to capture the lives, art, and culture of long-time residents, historical figures, and rapidly disappearing former Black cultural spaces. David will share his experiences in curating and producing the tour and his current efforts to use the tour as part of a public mobilization strategy towards the reestablishment of the Hoover-Durant Public Library branch.

Speaker Bio:

David Peters grew up in the Hoover-Durant neighborhood of West Oakland. He’s a master storyteller who created the Black Liberation Walking Tour to share the vibrant history of this neighborhood that was torn up by freeway construction, like so many other African American districts. He’s on the steering committee negotiating community benefits around the proposed Oakland A’s ballpark at Howard Terminal.
