After Hope: Videos of Resistance

Hope is an emotion that drives us to imagine, represent, and create new worlds. Designed as a set of three interrelated programs -- an in-gallery presentation of more than 50 short videos from across Asia and the Asian diaspora (Videos of Resistance); a series of workshops, roundtable discussions, and convenings (International Working Group); and an online platform (AfterHope.com) -- After Hope explores the role of hope in contemporary art and activism. This is the first in a series of programs produced in collaboration with outside curators and institutions that aims to foster artistic pollination across communities, practices, and perspectives. After Hope is co-organized with Padma D. Maitland, assistant professor of architectural history and theory at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
