Description

Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring issues related to storytelling, LGBTQ+ identities, AAPI identities, and cross-cultural exchange. *This workshop is for current USC students only. USC student status will be verified. USC students are invited to join acclaimed filmmakers Andrew Thomas Huang, WangShui, and Hao Wu for a hands-on workshop exploring issues related to storytelling, LGBTQ identities, AAPI identities, and cross-cultural exchange, assisted by USC professor Jenny Lin and USC Chinese Studies librarian Tang Li. After sharing their art, experiences, and processes, the artists will lead students through a brainstorming exercise to identify the issues, concerns, and causes that matter to them most. Students will then break into small groups according to particular interests, led by Huang (music videos), WangShui (art/experimental film), and Wu (documentary filmmaking), to create short video art pieces to be shared and discussed with the entire group. Don’t miss this chance to meet the artists in a casual and creative setting! Click to read more.
