In-Dialogue series Presented by the #notwhite collective

November 8, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST

Free

This is a virtual-only event streamed on City of Asylum’s virtual platform, City of Asylum @ Home.

The #notwhite collective in-Dialogue series features conversations with BIPOC, AALANA, indigenous and immigrant artists and arts administrators.

The series reimagines the past and present history of the arts sector by engaging and presenting the wealth of experience, strategies, and tactics of the global majority, notwhite descendants, inheritors of colonialism, indigenous and immigrants who navigate a predominantly white arts sector.

Series goal is to celebrate and recognize arts and cultural workers, especially those who tend to be under the radar and forgotten about. Speakers represent the Greater Western Pennsylvania region as well as National Leaders in the Arts.

 

November’s session features two amazing leaders:

6pm: Jasmine Cho — artist, cookie activist, and author of the children’s book, “Role Models Who Look Like Me: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Made History.”

7 pm: Chris Ivey — Pittsburgh based documentary filmmaker. Creator of film “East of Liberty,” and others. 

 

About Jasmine Cho: Jasmine M. Cho is a Pittsburgh-based artist, author, and cookie activist most known for using portrait cookies to elevate representation for Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders. Her work has been featured internationally on various media outlets that include NPR, HuffPost, CBS This Morning, and The Korea Daily. A TEDx speaker and Food Network Champion, Jasmine hopes to use her platform to expand the frontiers of research-based bake therapy and make the kitchen a more accessible and empowering space for creativity and healing.
