Please join us Tuesday November 12th for a screening of " Songs From The Hole ( 2024) " at Public Trust with a discussion with film scholar Julia Alekseyeva and Director Contessa Gayles to follow. 

Please join us in person for Third Thursday with Andrienne Palchick, Heidi Ratanavanich, and Connie Yu of the public project FORTUNE!

FORTUNE (b. Year of the Earth Pig 2019) is a Philadelphia-based print collective, assembled by and for queer and trans Asian publics. We approach printing and self-publishing as a practice of learning, gathering, remembering, and making multiple. Conceived by Andrienne Palchick, Heidi Ratanavanich, and Connie Yu, FORTUNE is a public project, tended to collectively.

FORTUNE will describe their research and publishing practice, considering their positionality as queer diasporic Asians in the US. They will share examples of past and recent study, contending with varying levels of mediation — from archival inquiry to homeland tourism. Through creative, transparent, and participatory research, they offer artistic interventions of recontextualizing and recirculating these materials, by and for their communities.
