 http://kearnystreet.wordpress.com/category/activist-imagination/\n\nIn its 
 35th anniversary year, Kearny Street Workshop, the oldest multidisciplinary 
 Asian Pacific American arts organization in the country, has collaborated 
 with visual artists Bob Hsiang, Donna Keiko Ozawa, and Christine Wong Yap 
 to produce Activist Imagination, an exhibition about activism, art, and 
 community. Responding to KSW’s rich history of activism and art, Activist 
 Imagination offers a multigenerational and multi-media look at the past, 
 present, and future of Asian Pacific American activism. Photographer Bob 
 Hsiang will unveil recent portraits of activists, including longtime civil 
 rights activist Yuri Kochiyama, South Bay organizer Raj Jayadev, and 
 Oakland performance poet Shailja Patel. Donna Keiko Ozawa will show new 
 interactive sculptures, including viewer-activated pieces inspired by the 
 struggle to save the International Hotel, where Kearny Street Workshop was 
 founded in 1972.  Christine Wong Yap contributes site-specific 
 installations and a screenprinted multiple to continue her work around 
 optimism and pessimism.\n\nThe Activist Imagination exhibition goes 
 hand-in-hand with an Activist Imagination discussion series running from 
 November 2007 - May 2008, and a catalog of the exhibition will be released 
 at the closing event on May 24th. Activist Imagination is made possible in 
 part by a grant from the Creative Work Fund through support from the Walter 
 and Elise Haas Fund, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the 
 James Irvine Foundation. Activist Imagination is also supported in part by 
 a grant from the San Francisco Foundation.\n\n----Kearny Street Workshop is 
 a community-based arts nonprofit based in San Francisco. Founded in 1972, 
 KSW's mission is to produce and present art that enriches and empowers 
 Asian Pacific American communities. Our vision is to achieve a more just 
 society by connecting APA artists to community members to give voice to our 
 cultural, historical, and contemporary issues. Now in our 35th year, KSW 
 offers workshops, visual exhibitions, readings, artist salons and panel 
 discussions, an annual arts festival, and more. For more information,
