What: On May 4th, Asian CineVision is hosting the kickoff event for A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A/P/A to inform and invite people to capture snapshots of their experiences as Asian Pacific Americans or what APA experiences they have witnessed in NYC on May 10th. We will have several NYC-based photographers, from high-profilers to grassroots, to talk about the A/P/A experiences they have captured and what they have in mind for May 10th.
* Presenters expected to attend include: Corky Lee, An Rong Xu, Stephen A. Yang, Mitsuko Brooks, Lia Chang and Sara Francini.

Why May 10th: In the historic photo taken in 1869 to celebrate the construction of the Utah Central Railroad, the 12,000 Chinese laborers who had worked on the construction were not included and none of them was recognized as part of it. As May marks the 35th Anniversary of APA Heritage Month as well as the 145th Anniversary of Transcontiental Railroad in Utah, and May 10th the 7th Amtrak’s National Train Day, we would like to encourage everyone to create visual materials to deliver the underrepresented realities and revamp the historical memories of Asian American heritage.

Free admission to all.
Free first drink to every attendee.
