We’ll be doing signing & selling books at the Joy on Joice Street fair on Sat, Oct 16 from 11am-1pm.
About the fair
The Chinese Historical Society of America Museum partners with community arts organization Cut Fruit Collective to host the first-ever Joy on Joice Street Fair. It will host AAPI makers, community organizations, performers, and artists while also bringing attention to supporting the small businesses across San Francisco Chinatown.
Artists Exhibiting
Yunfei Ren, a San Francisco-based visual artist that works with the photographic medium. His work critically investigates identity and the notion of belonging. Through photography, he presents identities as fluid and diverse in the context of citizenship, sexuality, and cultural polarization. Will be presenting his work in progress, Ghosts of Chinatown.
Artivate, a non-profit organization bringing multidisciplinary art experiences to marginalized communities in San Francisco, silk screening designs on the premises
Vita Hewitt – Working with weaver Travis Meinolf, she will provide cyanotypes and sepia prints that consist of a series of images and passages from literature that contain Asian stereotypes (eg. Dr. Suess). These will be shredded into long strips. From there, people will be invited to weave these onto the loom.
