SUMMARY:Brown Belongings: A Dialogue about the Politics of Color and Class
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Linda Vallejo as she describes her new exhibit “Brown Belongings”\, which represents ten years of concentrated work on visualizing what it means to be a person of color in the United States. These works reflect what she calls her “brown intellectual property”—the experiences\, knowledge\, and feelings she has gathered over more than four decades of study in Chicano/a and American indigenous communities.  \n\n\n\nSince 2010 Vallejo has produced hundreds of sculptures\, paintings\, and works on paper entitled “Make ‘Em All Mexican.” She purchases pricey antiques (plaster and porcelain figures\, magazines\, and postcards) and paint their skin brown. There is a “brown” Elvis Presley\, Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble\, Marie Antoinette & Louis Auguste\, the Rose Parade Queen\, Queen Mother\, Greek and Roman gods. In 2015 she produced “The Brown Dot Project\,” a series of “data pictographs\,” images on gridded architectural vellum where brown dots represented actual data. The works portrayed various data sets including US Latino populations; professional numbers in health\, education\, and business sectors; and Latino contribution to the US Gross National Product.  \n\n\n\n“Brown Belongings” will lead participants down an ironic path to find yourself confronted by some of the most difficult questions of our time\, “Do race\, color\, and class define our status in the world?” “Is it possible to be a part of and earnestly contribute to multiple cultures simultaneously?”  “Does color and class define our understanding and appreciation of culture?” \n\n\n\nLearn more about Linda’s work at www.lindavallejo.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Zoom Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Linda Vallejo\n\n\n\nVallejo creates work that visualizes what it means to be a person of color in the United States.

SUMMARY:Hong Kong: Freedom Under Attack
DESCRIPTION:Currently on display at the First Amendment Museum is a copy of the last edition of the famous Hong Kong newspaper\, Apple Daily.  \n\n\n\nFounded by Hong Kong freedom of speech and freedom of the press advocate Jimmy Lai in 1995\, Apply Daily was shuttered by the Chinese Communist Party in 2021. Its demise symbolized the death of the free press in Hong Kong and is just one of many assaults on the universal freedoms of Hong Kong citizens by the Chinese Communist Party.  \n\n\n\nJoin the First Amendment Museum as it hosts Hong Kong experts Chi-Sang Poon\, Michael C. Davis\, and Mark Simon for a panel discussion on the situation in Hong Kong and why it matters to free people around the world. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Zoom event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout panelist Mark Simon \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Simon\, a Virginia native\, has been involved in media since his days as Media Board Chairman in University. After a brief stint as an intelligence analyst with the US Navy\, Mark came to Hong Kong in 1992 and started a career in shipping\, and also began to write once again. Over the years Mark has written for the Wall Street Journal\, Washington Post\, New York Post\, and was often a guest on radio and television from Hong Kong. \n\n\n\nMark joined Jimmy Lai in May 2001 at Apple Daily. He has held positions with the Next Digital Group\, Apple Daily’s parent\, from General Manager\, and Chief of Crime News\, to Group Director. \n\n\n\nMark sees himself primarily as a businessman as over the years he has also taken on roles in private equity and real estate. Yet\, even up until when he had to leave Hong Kong in the spring of 2020\, Mark was still writing his column\, “Second Opinion”\, a column that by Comscore was Hong Kong’s most-read English language column inside Hong Kong’s largest news media platform\, Apple Daily. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout panelist Michael C. Davis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Michael C. Davis is a Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC\, a Senior Research Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asia Institute at Columbia University\, and a Professor of Law and International Affairs at O.P. Jindal Global University in India.  \n\n\n\nLong a public intellectual in Hong Kong\, he was a professor in the Law Faculty at the University of Hong Kong until late 2016. His scholarship engages a range of issues relating to human rights\, the rule of law\, and constitutionalism in emerging states\, with frequent publication in such public affairs journals as Foreign Affairs and the Journal of Democracy\, as well as academic journals. Amnesty International and the Hong Kong FCC awarded him a 2014 Human Rights Press Award for his commentary in the South China Morning Post on the 2014 Hong Kong “umbrella movement.”  \n\n\n\nHis latest book on Making Hong Kong China: The Rollback of Human Rights and the Rule of Law (November 2020) is available on Amazon and from Columbia University Press. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout panelist Chi-Sang Poon \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChi-Sang Poon (潘志生) is a retired scientist from MIT where he served as a health sciences and technology visiting associate professor and then principal research scientist for thirty years.  \n\n\n\nA native of Hong Kong\, he obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Hong Kong\, a master’s degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, and a Ph.D. degree from UCLA. While at MIT\, he was vocal on racial discrimination and civil rights issues and was the creator of a musical CD in memory of 9/11.  \n\n\n\nHe is the author of a series of articles on defending freedom of the press and of speech under Hong Kong’s looming sedition law\, which has been recently decreed as part of Hong Kong’s National Security Law.
