SAFAR: A Journey of Recollections
at Children's Creativity Museum
(3:30pm - 5:30pm)
Presented as part of the United States of Asian America Festival by the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center, this multidisciplinary event features a hybrid short documentary and live performance by Oakland choreographer Joti Singh exploring the hidden history of South Asian immigration through the story of her great-grandfather, Bhagwan Singh Gyanee, a member of the anti-colonial Ghadar Party. Filmed at the Angel Island Immigration Station, the work blends dance, archival memory, and site-specific performance to honor the experiences of detained South Asian immigrants. The program includes a grounding session, live dance performance, film screening, and post-screening community dialogue on immigration, ancestry, and family memory.
