IMA student Betty Yu performed in the Speech, Chant, Manifesto: The Words of the Asian American Movement on March 4th at the Interference Archive. The performance was an ensemble of actors and organizers that staged a theatrical reading of writings and interviews of the 1970s Asian American Movement. The theatrical readings aimed not only to shine light on those words, but to produce a conversation between contemporary organizing and its political roots.
IMA student Betty Yu won an Art Matters Grant for her film project, The War Within: Healing the Wounds. Her documentary features the lives of veterans and active soldiers of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
IMA student Betty Yu was featured in the article, Artists Transform Old Chinatown Beauty Parlor into a Creative Playground, on Huffington Post which reviewed the interactive installation, Through The Parlor. Reported by Priscilla Frank, the article explores the work of the artists whom put together the interactive gallery using various media to explore the culture that grows in the space of a hair salon, in terms of capital, labor and cultural identity.
