From the Ground Up Film Screening + Grant Din Presentation
hosted by REALSOUL

About
We’re excited to present the film, From the Ground Up. The film follows artist, Leon Sun, Barnali Ghosh and Anirvan Chatterjee of Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour, and Caroline Cabading of Manilatown Heritage Foundation as they explore the intersections of Asian American community art, history, and archival work in the San Francisco Bay Area. The film is 35 minutes.
Following the screening, researcher Grant Din will share insights from his work in historical preservation and genealogical research. We welcome you to bring your questions and join the conversation about how to get involved in preserving your own family and community history.
We’re offering this event on a sliding scale. Contributions help sustain the film and future screenings, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
