Active Minds is proud to announce the launch of Penntal Health today!

Penntal Health is a literary magazine focused on mental health. With submissions from students at the University of Pennsylvania and from Pennsive, the magazines features stories, poems, and paintings illustrating an experience or a perspective about mental health.

We are constantly "discovering" new cultural experiences, foods or locales that have already existed for a long time. But when is that a healthy byproduct of globalization and when is it a problem?

From his new perch in Washington, Ted Lieu has suffered through an East Coast winter and other confounding indignities of life as a freshman member of the House from the party out of power. No matter, he says; he learned from his predecessor, the 40-year member Henry Waxman , that influence will be marked in years and decades, not the three months Lieu has spent in the capital.

Progress.

English is not the be-all, end-all language for Asian Americans on Facebook, as 42 percent of them communicate with friends and family in their native tongues, according to a recent study by IPSOS MediaCT, commissioned by Facebook.

Ellen Pao's claim against top venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins seems to have come up short, but it's brought heightened attention to gender discrimination in tech.

Rebel Legacy: Activist Art from South Asian California is closing on 3/7 with a reception and artists’ panel from 3-5pm at the Asian Resource Center Gallery (310 8th St. Oakland, CA).

Kearny Street Workshop’s Program Manager, Jason Bayani, got a chance to talk Barnali Ghosh and Alex Wang, who co-curated this groundbreaking exhibition.

JASON: In curating the pieces for Rebel Legacy, what were some of the discussions and reactions you were hoping it might provoke?

BARNALI: The pieces in Rebel Legacy build upon a century of South Asian organizing for equity and social justice in California. I hoped that in collecting these pieces in one room the audience would recognize the depth and breadth of that legacy. I wanted to raise questions about what justice looks like in South Asia as compared to the US and hoped that audiences would make the linkages between contemporary local and global struggles, understand solidarity and recognize that our struggles are connected. Most importantly I wanted people to walk away with a deeper appreciation for historical and contemporary organizing that makes us who we are today and inspire them to find their own path in their communities.

ALEX: My intention was that the exhibition would highlight the vibrant and active community of South Asian artists and activists working in our midst, and provide a platform for the very relevant conversations they’re engaged with to flourish. Personally, I’ve found their creative pursuits to be inspirational, and my hope was that these pursuits would resonate with others as well.

JASON: This exhibition was inspired by the Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour. Can you explain a little about how Rebel Legacy grew out of that?

BARNALI: The Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour is a 2 mile, 3 hour walk through Berkeley that tells stories of South Asian organizing in the city of Berkeley that goes back over a 100 years. The tour is curated by Anirvan Chatterjee and myself. One of the artists as part of another project created an art piece inspired by one of the stories that we tell on the tour. Using that piece as a jumping off point we curated “Our Name is Rebel” in 2013 with art inspired by more stories in the walking tour. Our partnership with KSW this year allowed us to bring those pieces to a bigger space, include more artists and bring in pieces that reflected more contemporary social struggles.

JASON: How did you come to decide on the artists you selected and what made them right for this exhibition?

BARNALI: All of our artists are also activists and I love that! Visual art has always been a part of movement building and the fact they are all artist-activists gives the pieces a certain depth and nuance that I really appreciate. I was familiar with most of their work, was in awe of their visual style and felt moved by the themes that their art was addressing. They didn’t limit themselves only to issues that affected South Asians and that was powerful for me and something I wanted to share through the exhibition.

ALEX: My criteria was that the artists selected were artists of conscience, i.e., individuals positioning themselves within and responding to our collective socio-political context, and motivated by this context (through an understanding of collective responsibility) in their creative practice. Of course, we wanted the quality of the work, visually and conceptually, to be of a high caliber and I feel all of these standards were satisfied by the individuals involved.

JASON: Rebel Legacy has been a great addition to Kearny Street Workshop’s programming. What do you think it has contributed to KSW’s overall mission?

ALEX: One of the most compelling reasons I’m involved with KSW is its mission to operate as a socially conscious, activist-oriented organization. ‘Fine art’ aside, KSW was born out of a necessity during the I-Hotel evictions of the 70’s to provide a space and outlet for artist-activists to channel their creative energy into producing work with a position and a purpose. I feel this exhibition both honors and continues this legacy, and I couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve received from our community.

JASON: With the exhibition closing on March 7th, how do you feel about what this exhibition has been able to accomplish? And how do we continue to carry on the spirit of this work?

BARNALI: The work of each of our artists is powerful individually but with this exhibition I think it was a significant achievement to see all of their work in one place, in conversation with one another. I also really enjoyed working with KSW and appreciated their commitment to including and highlighting South Asian artists and themes in the context of Asian America. The work of fighting for a more just and socially equitable world can be challenging. I hope that we will carry the art of Rebel Legacy with us and use it to heal, inspire and mobilize even as we continue to build on that legacy.

ALEX: It’s always tricky to quantify impact or define success with exhibitions of this nature, but given the national dialogue surrounding race and inequality of late, I don’t think this particular show could have come at a more relevant time. On opening night we witnessed the largest turnout for an exhibition in that space that I can recall, which is a reasonable indication that one has struck a chord. As for carrying on, one of our missions as a community based arts organization is to encourage our audience to not only engage passively, but rather become cultural producers in their own right. I hope this intention is not lost and we continue to receive support and submissions from community members to continue programming in this spirit.
