"Lala Camp 2008 · Lala Connections" leaps forward
Breaking Regional Boundaries, Fostering Diversity and Cultural Exchange
"Lala Camp 2008 · Lala Connections" is the second annual cross-regional leadership forum. The term "lala" is a local identity embraced by Chinese-speaking communities, used here as an umbrella term to include lesbians, bisexual women, and women-loving transgender people (LBTs).
Building on last year's vision of breaking isolation, "Lala Camp 2008" aims to provide leadership training for even more lala activists and organizations. This year's five-city convenings emphasize programming that closely reflects local needs, the exchange of organizing experience across regions, skills development for grassroots organizers, and the opportunity to interact with winder local & regional communities. These unique gatherings were organized by local lala teams and held in five designated regions of Anshan, Kunming, Chengdu, Beijing, and Shanghai.
One Focus, Five Cities
To better serve the needs of grassroots lala organizations from different regions, five local groups took charge of hosting lala camps in each of their cities. While last year's camp was held in one location, "Lala Camp 2008 · Lala Connections" was underscored by in-depth involvement in the local communities, to better understand
local issues and conditions.
Based autonomously on regional needs and interests, topics of training include some of the following: a history of the queer movement, organization building, volunteer management, fundraising and accounting, public education, media and press, working with youth and marginalized queers, and various types of cultural events such as film
screenings, photo exhibits, oral history projects, and book exhibits.
Educating the Public, Reaching Thousands
150 organizers from 35 cities in the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States participated and benefited from the intensive training portion of "Lala Connections. " Delegations of 30 experienced lala activist visitors from Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Mainland, and the U.S., had the unique opportunity for exchange with the local communities.
Through the conference, lala groups in various cities were able to connect with other organizations that address women's, HIV/AIDS/MSM, civil society issues. These groups are invited to cosponsor and attend events in the public portion of the forums, attracting as many as 1,000 people.
After the conclusion of all regional camps, organizing groups and delegates gathered in Shanghai to discuss collectively the need to assemble a coalition structure. Thus, the "Chinese Lala Alliance" was founded at this meeting for the joint purpose of providing a sustainable framework for leadership training, resource sharing and
organizational development in Chinese lala communities.
"Lala Camp 2008 · Lala Connections" was planned by Beijing Common Language, the Gender/Sexuality Rights Association of Taiwan, the Women Coalition of Hong Kong, and the Institute for Tongzhi Studies in New York. Regional host groups included Beijing "les+" Magazine, Shanghai Nvai Lesbian Group, Chengdu Les'GO, Kunming Tong Hua She, and Anshan Lala Yizhan.

Oct 3, Talk on Oral Histories of 1st to 4th Generation Asian Americans
Dear Friend,
Good evening! You're cordially invited to a talk on "Asian Americans in the Twenty-First Century: Oral Histories of 1st to 4th Generation Americans" by Joann Lee, on Friday, October 3, 2008, from 6PM to 8PM, at 25 W. 43rd Street, Room 1000, between 5th & 6th Avenues, Manhattan.
This book is a 21st Century snapshot of Asian Pacific Americans; a tapestry of tales reflecting their lives, experiences, hopes, and dreams. Ultimately the spectrum of values-in education, family, work--form a remarkable mosaic of the Asian American experience, distinct in many ways from that of Asians living in Asia, or as immigrants encountering diaspora elsewhere in the world.
Through the individual experiences recounted, we become engaged in the discourse of major themes within the interdisciplinary fields of cultural, and sociological literature, history, and politics, spanning first to fourth generation. Within the book, there are a range of voices. Examples: Gary Locke, former governor of Washington State, talks about his start in American politics; while Hank Sasaki shares his passion for Country and Western music as the "Cowboy from Japan". Gita Deane recounts her efforts to fight for same-sex marriage in Maryland, while Dale Minami, attorney, details his efforts in changing the tide of history in Korematsu v. United States, 1984.
Joann Faung Jean Lee, Ph.D. is author of Asian Americans in the Twenty-First Century (New Press, 2008). This marks her third book of oral histories on Asians in America. She has written and lectured extensively on the Asian American experience and Asians and media.
Dr. Lee has been a journalism educator for over two decades. She is currently Professor and Chairperson of the Communication Department at William Paterson University. She has served as Dean of the Reynolds School of Journalism, University of Nevada, Reno. At Queens College, City University of New York, she established and directed the journalism program and created the T.W. Wang Awards for Excellence in Coverage of Chinese American Issues, a national journalism award sponsored by the World Journal.
Her other books include Asian American Actors (McFarland, 2000), and Asian Americans (New Press, 1992).
Admission to this talk is free of charge. Light refreshments will be served. Signed copies of Dr. Lee's book will be available for sale.
Note: For those unable to attend, live webcasting is available on our website at 6:15PM EST. Online viewers are able to provide questions or comments live via chat through AOL Instant Messenger or Skype. Streaming video and audio podcast (on iTunes) of the discussion will be available after the lecture.
To register for this talk, please RSVP to this email with your contact information including zip code, or call our office at 212-869-0182. For details on this and all our upcoming activities, please visit our website @ www.aaari.info. See you on next Friday!

Last Call at Maud's Paris Poirier 1993 77 min. USA
CLAGS/FRAMELINE Screening Series Present
Last Call at Maud'sParis Poirier 1993 77 min. USA
Friday, February 15
Segal Theater7-9 PM
Some genuinely wild women take center stage in Paris Poirier's vivacious and historical documentary about Maud's, the longest-running lesbian bar in the United States. This venerable San Francisco establishment opened in 1966, when lesbians were still very much in the closet. Maud's flourished throughout the '70s and '80s, enjoying an international reputation as a meeting place for lesbians and their friends, only to be shut down in 1989 as a result of the community's shifting priorities. Provocative personal stories of coming out, sexual politics and softball are mixed with flashbacks to the Hollywood gay bars of the '40s and the vice raids of the '50s.
The vintage photos and personal interviews (with Mary Wings, Judy Grahn, Phyllis Lyon, Del Martin, Sally Gearhart, JoAnn Loulan and Rikki Streicher, to name a few) are an invaluable window into lesbian history.
A witty and informative look at cultural evolution in the making, Last Call at Maud's salutes and preserves an era in history when bars were the only cultural institutions in the lesbian community.
Co-sponsored by Frameline, the leading nonprofit educational media distributor solely dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender film and video with a collection of more than 200 titles for colleges, K-12, schools, libraries, and community groups.

Short Films from the Asian Lesbian Film Festival
The Hemlet (directed by One)
2003 ∣South Korea∣Fiction∣Color∣25 min∣Korean with Chinese & English subtitles
The Helmet is the second film of the director One, who has introduced the teenage female force as a significant part of Korea's independent film scene through her first short Keeping the Sea, an account of !.bad girls' wandering the city. The Helmet follows a young woman's private journey through sexual self (discovery to the eventual realization that she is a lesbian. A "Helmet" comes to symbolize female homosexuality throughout the film. By weaving personal experience into the mostly fictional narrative, the director presents some of her own stories as part of a greater history of homosexuality in Korea.
Identity Behind the Mirror (directed by Julian JEEYASEELAN & Lina TAN)
2003∣Malaysia∣Documentary∣Color∣20 min∣Malay with English subtitles
3R (respect, relax, respond) is a popular young women's program in Malaysia which is well known for its feminist and human rights approach on issues dealing with youth especially young women. This episode dealing with lesbianism was banned by the Malaysian censorship board even though the producers had taken a anti discrimination stand on the issue. This is the banned episode and at the end of the program, the producers show Malaysian censorship board's reasons for banning the episode.
Prolesb (directed by Joselito MENDOZA)

What is the “Asian Lesbian Film and Video Festival” (ALFF)
The Asian Lesbian Film Festival is organized by Gender/Sexuality Rights Association Taiwan with programming support from Institute for Tongzhi Studies, City University of New York and Spectra Studio for Asian Queer Media.
As most of the films made by and/or about lesbians in Asia, especially by young lesbians and queers, in the past few years are usually shown and circulated outside Asia, primarily in Film Festivals in Europe and North America. ALFF seeks to initiate dialogue around media representations of and by lesbians/lazi/lala/tongzhi/t/po/queer persons in an inter-Asian context so that communities within Asia could share images and stories made in their own region by and about Asians in Asian societies and build a forum for the lesbian and queer communities to discuss issues including visibility, media representation, gender and sexuality, relationships among women, family and community, violence and social justice.
ALFF taps on the social accessibility of media representation and its ability to reach wide and diverse audiences and seeks to participate in the larger cultural activist turn toward supporting and fostering inter-Asian on the ground critical perspectives and social movements. We hope to use this opportunity to expand and enrich our communities in ways that could not be done otherwise. (More...)

屋簷下的全球化：外籍家務移工與女雇主的認同政治與畫界工作
“Globalization at Home: Identity Politics and Boundary Work of Migrant
Domestic Workers and Taiwanese female Employers”講者：藍佩嘉 (Pei-Chia Lan)
時間: 2006年12月8日, 下午7:30-9:30
地點: Room #5409, CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York
∗ Photo ID needed
講題大綱
九零年代以來台灣開放外籍幫傭與監護工造成「屋簷下的全球化｣現象，此現象如何反映再生產勞動的跨國分工，以及如何重構階級、族群、性別交織的認同政治？本演講將從兩個面向討論外籍幫傭與監護工的政策：
一、照顧私有化政策背後的文化邏輯：家庭主義與性別分工，二、外勞政策背後的制度安排：沒有公民權益的外勞，成就台灣女性的公民身分。其次，講者並將討論外籍家務移工與台灣女雇主，這兩群處於不同階級、族群位置的女性，如何在雇用關係的日常生活中協商植基於家務工作的性別認同，並且採取不同的策略來畫分maid與 madam之間的界線。最後，講者將討論相關政策與行動建議，如建議將家務與照顧工作公共化、專業化與理性化，以及從制度上改變移工的邊緣處境，擴充社群共同體與公民身分的意義。
講者簡介
藍佩嘉, 台大社會系副教授、紐約大學Fulbright訪問學者，西北大學社會學博士。研究專長為性別社會學、工作社會學、國際遷移與全球化。藍佩嘉教授從事外籍家務移工研究多年，對性別與勞動，及其在全球政經、市場與階級結構影響下的面貌與意涵投注諸多心力，其菲律賓家務勞工研究更是台灣相關領域具重要影響的代表著作之一。
