Water is Sacred
September 8 - October 8 | ACCI Gallery | 1652 Shattuck Ave.
“Water is Sacred” is a juried photography exhibition that explores the power of water in its various forms and how that power is manifested in our diverse environments. Photographer Susanna (Suzun) Lucia Lamaina will be our guest juror/curator. From rain to rivers to floods, moisture to lakes and oceans, water is a powerful force affecting the planet. It nurtures our gardens and devastates our lives when there’s a drought. It’s the basis of all life. We invite photographers to submit photographs that examine the myriad impacts of water. From the presence of water to its absence. Consider a broad spectrum of subject matter, such as extreme weather and climate changes, access to clean drinking water and everyday activities like bathing and doing laundry. This exhibition will explore the dynamics of water as sacred and its impact on our lives.
“Touching Ground, Putting Down Roots: Chinese in Berkeley,” Exhibition
September 8 - September 30 | Berkeley Historical Society & Museum | 1931 Center St.
The exhibit will tell the stories of prominent Berkeley residents of Chinese descent, including activists, artists, accomplished professionals, distinguished scholars and professors and even Madame Chiang Kai-shek. There will also be stories of regular family life and of workers and bosses in Chinese-owned laundries, restaurants, and other enterprises. Finally, the exhibit will document the remarkable increase in the numbers of Chinese and Chinese American students at Cal and the equally dramatic growth of Berkeley’s Chinese American population in the last three decades. For more than 150 years, people of Chinese descent have put down roots that have grown deep and spread in Berkeley’s rich social environment.
The exhibit was developed by a team chaired by Jeanine Castello-Lin. Introduction by Charles Wollenberg.
