Question. Learn. Remember. Action., Chinese Cultural Center, SF, 2019
Question Learn Action Remember was created by Related Tactics (Michele Carlson, Weston Teruya, and Nathan Waston) in response to the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco’s invitation to create a project for their 2019 Present Tense Biennial: Task of Remembrance. In reflecting on the exhibition’s location in Chinatown, a block away from the iconic I-Hotel, in our current political moment, and given our own position as a collective of artists of color, we selected four key social movement declarations and had them translated so that they might serve as a kind of study and resource station. These gathered documents and declarations each emerge from a longer process of collective organizing and dialogue. They represent the moment when work within communities emerges to issue a challenge to a wider public, vocalizing demands for change, mobilization, reflection, and justice. As we engage with this task of remembrance, we hope to bring together these documents to assess where our communities and struggles intersect across time and geographies, and to contextualize our current work with that of those who come before us.
