WARNING SHOT

James H. Wakasa, a 63-year-old Japanese American bachelor, was shot to death by military police at Topaz incarceration camp during World War II. Was it justifiable homicide, an accidental fatality, or second-degree murder?

ABSENCE: NO FATS, NO FEMMES, NO ASIANS

Queer artist and writer Celeste Chan explores traits commonly suppressed by the mainstream. Subject Esther Kim shares her desires for a stronger queer, fat, Asian American and femme utopia where all four traits are embraced and celebrated.

ECLIPSE (RUBY)

WE ARE MANGOS

Musicians, artists, rappers and cosmic sisters Jeepneys and Low Leaf dance and play in different dimensions in the music video for their collaboration. Neon shapes, pulsing beats, psychedelic unitards and, of course, vibrant mangoes fill your eyes and ears with a sensory celebration.
