SUMMARY:Black Life: Benjamin Michel
DESCRIPTION:Black Life: Benjamin Michel\nSaturday\, May 26 at 6PM\nBAMPFA\nProgrammed by Chika Okoye and David Brazil\n\nFilmmaker Benjamin Michel presents “Melanin in Cinema\,” exploring the works of African-descended directors\, past and present\, who challenge the medium through their artistic voices. This presentation seeks to enlighten\, engage\, and inspire audiences to think more widely and deeply about films produced by people of color. \nBenjamin Michel was born in Irvington\, New Jersey. His early passions were in the fine arts\, primarily drawing and painting. As he grew into his late teens and learned about the value of images through photography\, he gravitated to the cinema. He earned an AA from Valencia Community College and a BA in film from the University of Central Florida. Although he dabbled in various art forms\, making films has played a defining role in shaping Benjamin’s work as a critical and socially aware artist. He strives to discover\, create\, and preserve the indelible impact of cinema by people of color across the world. \nFree with Admission

SUMMARY:Sam J. Miller discusses YA novel The Art of Starving at Pegasus Books\, Downtown Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Sam J. Miller discusses his debut YA novel ‘The Art of Starving’ — a darkly funny\, moving story of body image\, addiction\, friendship\, and love. With local favorite Ananda Esteva reading a sneak preview of ‘The Wanderings of Chela Coatlicue.’ \nAbout The Art of Starving \n\n\n\nThe Art of Starving tells the tale of Matt\, a bullied gay boy with an eating disorder who believes that starving himself awakens latent supernatural abilities. Rooted in Miller’s own adolescent struggle with an eating disorder\, the book has been described by Book Riot as “Funny\, haunting\, beautiful\, relentless and powerful\,…a classic in the making.” It was an Editor’s Pick on Amazon and iBooks\, and was trending on Twitter for approximately seven seconds. Kirkus (in a starred review) said\, “Matt’s sarcastic\, biting wit keeps readers rooting for him and hoping for his recovery….A dark and lovely tale of supernatural vengeance and self-destruction.” \nAbout the Author \nSam J. Miller is a writer and a community organizer. His debut novel The Art of Starving (YA/SF) was published by HarperCollins in July 2017\, and will be followed by Blackfish City from Ecco Press in 2018. His stories have been nominated for the Nebula\, World Fantasy\, and Theodore Sturgeon Awards\, and have appeared in over a dozen “year’s best” anthologies. He’s a graduate of the Clarion Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Workshop\, and a winner of the Shirley Jackson Award. He lives in New York City. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nTuesday\, October 17\, 2017 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nPegasus Books Downtown\n2349 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA

SUMMARY:Martin Wong: Human Instamatic at BAMPFA
DESCRIPTION:Martin Wong: Human Instamatic\nBAMPFA\nSeptember 20–December 10\, 2017\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition surveys the career of Chinese American painter Martin Wong (1946–1999)\, from his early years painting street portraits in Northern California—where he dubbed himself the “Human Instamatic”—to his role in New York’s gritty downtown art scene in the 1970s and 1980s and his late work in San Francisco before his untimely death from AIDS. \nWong was born in Portland\, Oregon\, and grew up near San Francisco’s Chinatown. After a year at UC Berkeley\, he studied ceramics at Humboldt State University in Eureka. During the 1970s\, dividing his time between Eureka and San Francisco\, he made scroll poems in idiosyncratic calligraphy and designed sets for psychedelic experimental theater groups the Cockettes and Angels of Light.
