Quilted portraits of love, resistance and self with Bisa Butler | de Young Museum

Fine Art
You’re All I Need: quilted portraits of love, resistance and self determination Through her dynamic, celebratory quilted portraits of people of African decent , Bisa Butler (b. 1973, Orange, NJ) investigates the purposes and potential of portraiture within the Black historical narrative. Butler's influences range widely from personal family scrapbooks to American folk traditions and AfriCOBRA philosophies. Although her finished works are made entirely of textiles, Butler approaches the medium from a painterly perspective. Sourcing imagery mainly from photographs, she uses layered fabrics and quilting to create unique compositions, psychological depth and detailed textures that she found missing from her paintings. By returning to textiles, Butler has reconnected with her family's history since it was her grandmother and mother who taught her to sew. Bisa Butler lives in South Orange, New Jersey and has a studio in Jersey City. Butler earned her BFA in painting at Howard University, Washington, D.C. in 1995 and holds a MAT in teaching art from Montclair State University, New Jersey. Her work has been exhibited widely, both domestically and internationally. Bisa was named an honorary doctorate of letters from Bloomfield College and recently received the inaugural Faith in the Arts Award. In 2020, Butler had her first institutional solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work can be found in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and Pérez Art Museum, Miami. The World Is Yours, Butler’s first solo exhibition with Jeffrey Deitch, in 2023 in New York, was enthusiastically received and attracted thousands of visitors. Her work All Power to the People is now a part of the permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. The presentation will be take place in the Koret Auditorium at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. Attendance in person is free. Eventbrite tickets are for those who cannot attend in person and would like to view the live Zoom broadcast. A recording will be available for 14 days following the talk.

The Tomb of the Divers - Francine Masiello in conversation... | Telegraph Hill Books

San Francisco
Arts
Literary Arts
Join us for an evening with author Francine Masiello in conversation... Moving beyond stereotypical tales of poverty and deprivation in southern Italy, The Tomb of the Divers weaves an immigrant yarn about small-time artists and crooks who, over the course of a century, wend their way from Basilicata to the anarchist enclaves of Paterson, New Jersey and from fascist Italy during World War II to Buenos Aires after its dirty war of the 1980s. This multigenerational story is told by narrators Rosanna and Max, siblings who dig into family archives and dispute their revelations. But Francine Masiello doesn't let us distinguish history from fiction, truth from lies; instead, writing with pleasure and wit, she reminds readers of that old Italian saying . . . It's not true, but I believe it Francine Masiello is a writer and critic who has taught at the University of California at Berkeley where she holds the Ancker Distinguished Professorship in the Humanities (Emerita). With a long career as a Latin Americanist, she published on topics ranging from nineteenth-century literature to avant-garde movements of the 1920s. In recent years, she has turned to the representation of the senses under neoliberal order and now writes about the Global South. She has lived in New York, Italy, and Argentina, and has published fiction in English and Spanish. The Tomb of the Divers is her first novel.

Join Californian author Diana R. Chambers at Books Inc. in the Marina for a reading and discussion of her historical novel The Secret War of Julia Child! Everything you thought you knew about Julia Child was wrong... Before she was Julia Child, the enigmatic chef that stole hearts, she was Julia McWilliams. Thirty years old and directionless, Julia took a job working for America’s first espionage agency, years before cooking or Paris entered the picture. The Secret War of Julia Child traces Julia’s transformation from ambitious Pasadena blue blood to Washington, DC file clerk, to head of General “Wild Bill” Donovan’s secret File Registry as part of the Office of Strategic Services. The wartime journey takes her to the Far East, to Asia’s remote frontlines of then-Ceylon, India, and China, where she finds purpose, adventure, self-knowledge – and love with mapmaker Paul Child. Not only do we see Julia’s origin story, but we see the Forgotten War of WWII in Asia, where themes of empire and colonialism enrich the story, and deepen Julia’s perceptions of international culture. The spotlight has rarely shone on this fascinating period of time in the life of ( I'm not a spy ) Julia Child, and this lyrical story allows us to explore the unlikely world of a woman in World War II spy station who has no idea of the impact she'll eventually impart. The celebrated chef’s zest, humor and generous spirit come through brilliantly in this captivating fictional take on her WWII work in Asia for U.S. spy agency. — People magazine A compelling story with an unexpected (and thoroughly delightful) heroine—Julia Child, who served with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS, the precursor to the CIA) during World War II. Chambers paints a vivid portrait of the tall, awkward Julia, who volunteers for a post in India, becomes involved in secret intelligence cases across Southeast Asia and China, and meets her future husband Paul Child. With riveting twists and turns, the novel’s not only a vivid exploration of a lesser-known chapter in the life of one of America’s most beloved personalities, it’s also an impeccably researched roller-coaster ride, with spies, danger, deception, heroics, and romance. — Susan Elia MacNeal, New York Times bestselling author An exciting, little-known reveal of the story behind Julia Child's WWII service, showing her resilience and bravery. A must-read. — Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author In these pages I was thrilled to discover a Julia who claimed her own strength and conviction before the world defined who she was. Chambers’ Julia is deliciously nuanced, and the Asian setting is as enticing as the foods Julia will become known for. Set in the smoldering days of WWII, this novel has everything I love—romance, intrigue, mouthwatering food, and a woman who makes no apologies for her voracious appetite for life! — Kim Fay, nationally bestselling author of Love & Saffron Before there was a Julia Child, there was a Miss McWilliams...Julia McWilliams called herself a simple file clerk, but in truth, she lived and worked in situations steamy not just with heat, but with deceit, teeming with international spies and lies, wartime intrigue in which many lives were at stake...Chambers’ impressive research informs this engaging novel—and yes, the food is spectacular! — Laura Kalpakian, author of American Cookery At turns charming, funny, and inspiring, The Secret War of Julia Child is a vividly written and deeply imaginative new take on World War II. By letting us see this historic moment through the eyes of a beloved American icon, Chambers beautifully captures the spirit of the women of the greatest generation. — Dr. Lena Andrews, nationally bestselling author of Valiant Women, The Extraordinary American Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II …Chambers’s gripping novel unveils another dimension to Julia. In this fictionalized account of Child’s real-life work with OSS during World War II, Chambers humanizes Julia and manages to make her even more remarkable. You’ll fall in love with Julia all over again, and with this tantalizing novel.? — Nina Schuyler, award-winning author of Afterword Full of intrigue and romance, The Secret War of Julia Child is a fascinating glimpse into the early life of one of America's most beloved celebrities. Perfect for fans of this complex, compelling woman. — Julia Bryan Thomas, author of For Those Who Are Lost In this gripping novel, a young and intrepid Julia Child tumbles headlong into espionage and romance in World War II Asia. Author Diana R. Chambers merges little-known details from Child’s personal history with true wartime events to build a dynamic tale. More, please! — Sujata Massey, award-winning author of The Mistress of Bhatia House After studying Asian Art History at university, Diana R. Chambers worked at a Paris translation agency and later began an importing business in South Asia. She is an experienced scriptwriter, and her research has taken her all over the world. Diana lives with her fellow-traveler husband in northern California and Aix-en-Provence, France. DianaRChambers.com Information Source: Books Inc. | eventbrite

Embodying the Spirit: Joan Laage/Kogut Butoh Workshop This workshop is a process of erasing and re-creating the body through guided improvisation inspired by nature imagery and Ukiyoe prints. Experience training methods towards a supple body and mind and investigate aesthetics common to butoh through creative explorations. ETS explores endless questions: What is life? What is the human condition? What is the body? The workshop structure includes explorations of physical, natural, and transforming bodies. Partner work will facilitate participants’ individual and collective journeys. In this workshop we will focus on the elemental body and work with famous Japanese Ukiyoe wood block prints to create movement sequences inspired by Joan’s time with Gnome, Yoko Ashikawa’s company. The workshop draws from Joan’s training with the Ohnos and Ashikawa in Tokyo, Atsushi Takenouchi in Europe and her background as a Tai Chi practitioner and professional gardener. 2025 Workshop Dates/Times: Friday Feb 28th: 6-9pm Sat March 1st 12-4pm and Sunday March 2nd: 12-5pm Location Joe Goode Annex 401 Alabama St, San Francisco Refund policy: This workshop is nonrefundable, no exceptions.
