Role of Writing in Tumult of Urban Change...
Open City: Poet Fay Chiang and Scholar-Activist Peter Kwong on Gentrification and Chinatown/Loisada
Tuesday, July 27, 2010, 7-9 PM
Galleries, luxury condos, displacement, rezoning, affordable housing, neighborhood preservation. These are a few keywords in the conversation around gentrification. ***But what is the role of writing in the face of this kind of urban change?*** Two activists, scholar Peter Kwong of Hunter College/CUNY and artist Fay Chiang, will thread personal accounts of their lives as scholars and artists in Chinatown/Loisada with broader analyses of neighborhoods in flux. Their discussion will launch the Workshop’s community-based writers fellowship, “OPEN CITY: Blogging Urban Change,” where fellows collect oral history from residents of Chinatown/LES, Sunset Park, and Flushing. Partnering with the Museum of Chinese in America (MoCA) and its Archeology of Change Project, Open City is an innovative spin on the neighborhood blog, one that incorporates oral history, video/audio content, and new interdisciplinary writing.

Andriana: "Found (Self) in Translation"
From Tuesday's DAILY NEWS:
AT FIRST, it was all Greek, but thanks to a new creative writing program at Queens College, Andriana Rizos, a Greek-American has found her own voice in translation [at Queens College]. ... She can be found in Francis Lewis Park, penning verses on a yellow legal pad under the Whitestone Bridge. ..."
