Commissioned by the Sacramento Philharmonic as artist/educator for Whispers of the Past, a collaborative project with St. HOPE Academy’s 40 Acres Gallery in Sacramento. The artist explored stories of Chinese who contributed to the building of these three communities. From the gold rush to the railroads to the levee system of the Sacramento Delta, the accomplishments of the Chinese were achieved at a great pain and great price, often without acknowledgement. Gold Mountain, Gum Saan, was the name 19th century Chinese laborers gave to California. The Sacramento Philharmonic project is a regional continuation of the story-telling efforts stemming from the March 2003 Bill Moyers PBS special, Becoming American: The Chinese Experience. |
