Art for the Community: A Short History of Basement Workshop in New York Getting Started Basement Workshop was started by a group of fellow urban planners and artists in 1971 on Elizabeth St. in New York Chinatown. It began with projects such as the Asian American Resource Center, which compiled information on Asian American communities, a magazine named Bridge, which was widely read, and a cultural publication called "Yellow Pearl." A Part of the Movement and the Community They started with furniture scavenged on the street in a tenement that probably didn't meet building codes. They raised money by holding fundraising events like benefit dance where they collected the guns from gang kids. They networked with, argued with, and were inspired by groups such organizations as Yellow Brotherhood, Gidra Newspaper, Visual Communications in L.A. and Kearny Street Workshop, the International Hotel Support Committee, Asian American Theater Workshop and Japanese American Media Workshop in San Francisco. From the west coast artist and activists visited and stayed at Basement, just as Basement activists returned the favor. The Basement started to seek funding, at first from cultural funders, and grew quickly. Basement was very loose and different artists pursued different interests, but they saw their art in the context of their communties. In 1973 Amerasia Creative Arts formed, which worked collectively on projects, programs and workshops. They shared and taught each other. They contributed to community issues by providing publicity materials, graphics and posters. One night, they screened 2,000 posters for a community wide demonstration against police brutality at City Hall. They did oral histories of senior citizens and to begin an old photograph collection. They also taught ESL and Citizenship classes, an afterschool Arts and Crafts program for forty children and a Neighborhood Youth Corps program in the summer with a staff of twelve youth workers administrating the program. A Split In late 1973 however members of the Workers Viewpoint Organization, a very destructive organization that affected many parts of the community, started to campaign against the leadership of Basement to win control of the organization and its resources. Eventually Basement's four sites were divided. For the Artists After this difficult period, Basement began to develop its activities outside of Chinatown, primarily supporting Asian American artists. They began a gallery that would hold a citywide show a year. Basement organized a literature program and supported the Morita Dance Company. The Center for Educational Equity began under Basement. This center organized projects around questions of race, sex and class, including a girls' video project at the local junior high school. But because of the difficulties of maintaining an ethnic arts organization, Basement Workship eventually had to shut its doors. Its Legacy Basement endured until the late 1980's. Out of it came Asian American arts organizations that continued today including the New York Chinatown Museum and the Asian American Dance Theater. Artists like the Joanne Miyamoto, Frank Chin, and Jessica Haggedorn began their work at Basement. Out of its sweat and tears grew much of the Asian American arts community in New York. http://www.aamovement.net/history/basement.html

Art Praxis Bios By Name By Date By Location ... AAP Reconstruction of Voice: 30 Years Later An Interview with Hmong and Lao Writers and Artists Interview by Bryan Thao Worra of the Asian American Press Introduction: 2005 marks the 30 th year since the end of the secret war in Laos between the communists and the royal Lao government, which was backed by a clandestine army raised by the CIA and US State Department. Many of the principal combatants were recruited from minority tribes in the mountains of Laos, including the Hmong, who trace their roots back over 4,000 years to pre-dynastic China. By the end of the war, thousands had been killed, maimed and uprooted from their lives in the landlocked tropical nation that American servicemen in the know referred to as "The Other Theater." More bombs were secretly dropped on Laos than had been dropped on all of Europe during World War 2, and Hmong soldiers as young as 11 were seen on the battlefield because most of the men of fighting age had been killed. SPEAKEASY recently had a chance to interview several young Hmong and Lao writers and artists recently to discuss their work and its relationship to their community as many Hmong and Lao rebuild their lives in the United States. Pacyinz Lyfoung is a Twin Cities community activist, Hmong poet and dancer. Kou Vang is a Milwaukee, WI-based Hmong visual artist. Soudary Kttivong Greenbaum is a Laotian community activist and writer in Illinois. May Lee is a Hmong spoken word artist and writer based in Saint Paul. A-Yia Thoj is a Hmong writer and actor living in the Twin Cities.

November 6, 2004 Sachiko Nakamura My good friend Sachi died a week ago, here in my home. She was a creative, life-generating force in this community, and a good friend to (literally) hundreds of people. I was lucky she agreed to spend her last ten days with me. Eight of those days were an almost continuous party, with live music, poetry readings, laughter and and unbelievable amount of food. Sachiko's art form was performance , but she was a boundary-crosser in the finest tradition of the trickster. She had her fingers in so many pies, that I don't think there's a single one of us who knows about them all. I know she was involved in the civil rights movement in the 60's and met Malcolm X. She was an inspirational feminist at San Jose State in the early 70's, and was active in the Peace movement. She combined elements of Japanese Noh, Butoh , and American solo performance theater to come up with her own art form - Asian American Dance Theater. She founded theater groups, taught dance classes, danced the hula, played the ukulele, practiced Chinese brush painting, taught grade school music classes and college level drama classes, and was a proud, active member of San Francisco's first (and longest running)

The social record of Asian immigrants has come in for careful study in recent years, but their cultural history has been overlooked. To stir interest in the neglected background of Asian American artistry is one purpose of "With New Eyes: Toward an Asian American Art History in the West'' at San Francisco State University. Incredibly, this is the first exhibition to survey the material record of early Asian American arts. Although the show contains about 100 objects, its curators acknowledge that it is only a small beginning.

October 7, 2002 Asian Studies a First By Sherry Fisher When Margo Machida left Hilo, Hawaii in 1968 at the age of 17 to start her college career at New York University, the world was in transition. "You can imagine New York at that time," says Machida. The anti-war movement was at its height, feminism was on the rise, and there was a huge flood of Asian migration. Chinatown was a hub of activity and the Asian American cultural movement was growing. Margo Machida, who joined the faculty this fall, holds a joint appointment as assistant professor of art history and Asian American studies. Photo by Shannon McAvoy "I became involved in that, and that's where I met many of the young writers, artists, and performers who were using art to deal with questions of identity," says Machida, who has joined the UConn faculty this semester as an assistant professor of art and art history and Asian American studies. "They were role models for me." There was a shared sense of mission, Machida says. "In order to make our experiences and perspectives known in the larger culture, we had a responsibility to do the foundational research, to do the writing, to curate the shows, to create the institutions that could be a base from which the voices of the various communities could be heard."
