SUMMARY:Ung Lim Lee to exhibit landscape art in St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:Mountains and Trees\, an exhibit of drawn and painted landscapes by Twin Cities artist Ung Lim Lee\, will premiere at Xia Gallery in St. Paul with an opening reception to be held Friday\, June 9\, at 6 p.m. \nLee\, age 90\, was born in what is now North Korea. His art school education was interrupted when he had to travel to South Korea during the Korean War. After immigrating to the U.S. as a young adult\, he had a long career as an advertising illustrator\, but he always worked on his own drawing and painting. \nAfter moving from New Jersey to Minnesota in 2017 to be with family\, he spent the pandemic years developing his art\, and has completed hundreds of works. Lee often uses unconventional materials and techniques such as permanent markers on dry-erase board\, paint on frosted glass\,  or pen on sheets of rubber to portray his own style of detailed representational art.  He often paints scenes from his homeland\, and the Diamond Mountains (Kumgang-san) is a favorite motif. \nReservations for free tickets are encouraged (see link).  Xia Gallery supports local Asian American and BIPOC artists and makers. More information is at the gallery’s website. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Crossings screening to be held in San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:The documentary film Crossings will have a San Francisco premiere at the film festival CAAMFest 2023 on May 13\, 5:30 p.m. at The Great Star Theater\, located in Chinatown. \nCrossings\, by award-winning documentary filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem\, describes the journey of Women Cross DMZ\, a group of international women peacemakers who crossed the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas in May 2015 as an act of defiant peacemaking. The film also details the goals of the international movement to formally end the Korean War that preceded and followed this event. \nLiem’s films (including a documentary film on the history of Korean adoption Geographies of Kinship) cover many aspects of Korean history and the relationship between the two Koreas\, and of Korean Americans with their country of origin. \nThe story of Women Cross DMZ is punctuated by newsreels and historic accounts of the treacherous roller-coaster ride of U.S.-North Korean relations over the last 70 years since the Korean War was ended with an armistice.  The film describes how the women peacemakers\, including renowned activists Christine Ahn and Gloria Steinem\, tackle political hurdles\, bureaucracy and widespread controversy to forge a path towards solidarity and peace. \nFilmmaker Deann Borshay Liem and activist Christine Ahn are expected to attend for a post-screening Q and A. CAAMFest\, sponsored by the Center for Asian American Media\, is one of the nation’s largest and enduring showcases for Asian and Asian American films.

SUMMARY:Author David Mura to speak about new book
DESCRIPTION:Author David Mura will speak in a free book launch event of his new book The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself: Racial Myths and Our American Narratives on Wednesday\, February 8\, 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Minnesota Humanities Center in St. Paul. \nThe book\, available after January 31 from the University of Minnesota Press\, uncovers pernicious narratives white people have created to justify white supremacy and sustain racist oppression. \nFrom the country’s founding through the summer of Black Lives Matter in 2020\, Mura unmasks how white stories about race attempt to erase the brutality of the past and underpin systemic racism in the present.

A book signing will follow the talk. The event is open to the public and will include a moderated discussion with the author. \nThe Minnesota Humanities Center will offer a limited number of complimentary copies to event attendees and the University of Minnesota Press will have additional copies for purchase. The event is co-sponsored by the two organizations\, and is part of the Minnesota Humanities Center’s Minnesota Writers Series\, which amplifies the works of Minnesota authors about the human experience.
