The lanterns will be exhibited in the storefronts of five community-facing organizations in Chinatown and the Mission District. Each lantern is based on a papercut by a working-class\, Chinese or Latina immigrant woman with limited English proficiency and limited access to the arts. Their imagery conveys narratives at the intersection of lived experience and social and political issues—including immigrant’s rights\, worker’s rights\, the cost of living\, affordable housing\, public safety\, and mental health—as well as what the women have done or could do to address those issues.  \n\n\n\nThe lanterns are the culmination of Bay Windows / Ventanas en saliente / 窗花\, a trilingual\, cross-cultural social practice project led by Yap\, the daughter of Chinese immigrants. For this project\, Yap received a 2025 Creative Capital Award\, as well as additional support from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and others. This is Yap’s second project engaging this multigenerational cohort of women. Her first\, in 2023\, was the first contemporary art project in the history of the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade\, which dates back to the 1850s.  \n\n\n\nEach lantern will be accompanied by a trilingual statement by its designer\, along with a link to a subtitled video interview\, so that audiences can see and hear the participant speaking in her native language about what her papercut represents and how the process was for her. By creating and displaying lanterns and papercuts\, Yap aims to bridge the two largest immigrant groups in San Francisco\, who together comprise nearly 40% of the City’s population. \n\n\n\nIn addition to the lanterns—which will be visible for free to passersby 24/7 for three months—Galería de la Raza is slated to host a display about the project in its foyer beginning in December 2025\, while the original paper cuts will be shown at the Chinese Culture Center’s Design Store starting in January 2026.  \n\n\n\nYap\, the five partner organizations\, and the 15 collaborating designers will co-host a free scavenger hunt during the day on Saturday\, January 24\, 2026 between 11 am and 2pm. On that day\, the public will be invited to visit the 15 lanterns for the chance to win prizes. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE LEAD ARTISTChristine Wong Yap (she/her) is a visual artist and social practitioner who gathers and amplifies grassroots perspectives on belonging and mental well being. Her project\, “How I Keep Looking Up / Como Sigo Mirando Arriba / 仰望\,” resulted in the first contemporary art project in the history of the 150-year-old San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade. \n\n\n\nCOLLABORATING DESIGNERSAiLan Xie 謝愛蘭\, Cammi XingYu Huang 黃幸瑜\, ChunMei “Amay” Cao 曹春梅\, DanLi Xu 許丹麗\, Lidia “Lupita” Iraheta\, Marcela Escamilla\, Mayra Alfaro\, MiaoFen Guan 關妙芬\, Nadia Rodriguez\, Selina Luo 羅玉蓮\, Tomasa Ramirez\, YongYu “Ah Yu” Lei 雷泳瑜\, YongYu “Yoyo” Situ 司徒咏瑜\, YuJuan “Ah Juan” Chen 陳玉娟\, Yurisma Gonzalez \n\n\n\nMADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROMCreative CapitalZellerbach Family FoundationNational Endowment for the ArtsA Blade of GrassAsian\, Inc.

The Fandango\, where Son Jarocho is played\, is a communal musical celebration rooted in resistance and collective liberation. Like many oral and folk traditions\, it passes down ancestral histories and knowledge while offering a structure for recording our own experiences.  \n\n\n\nOutside of México\, the Fandango has become a way for migrant communities to find and support one another. In the San Francisco Bay Area\, the melodies and rhythms of different diasporic musical traditions have become intertwined\, offering a common language for cross-cultural connection.  \n\n\n\nThe Queer Fandanguito Series invites us to queer the Fandango and imagine a tarima free of heteronormativity\, where queer dance expressions are celebrated. This musical series aims to foster meaningful connection\, cultural preservation\, and cross-border solidarities for our diasporic\, queer\, and femme communities.  \n\n\n\nJoin us Saturday\, November 15 in celebrating queer musical expressions while remaining rooted in the folk traditions of our homelands. May our traditions continue to restore our spirits and strengthen our fight for our peoples’ collective liberation. \n\n\n\nBring your instruments and dancing shoes and join us on the tarima. All levels of musical experience are welcomed!

Through striking portraits and deeply personal narratives gathered from immigrants across the Bay Area\, the exhibit asks: What does it mean to be seen\, heard\, and understood in the language of your heart? \n\n\n\nConceptualized in 2023\, this project was initially created to document immigrant experiences and highlight the need for language access in everyday life. Expanding from the first six stories exhibited at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2024\, the project now encompasses more than 20 cultures throughout the Bay Area that are reflected through their language and stories. In today’s political and social climate\, this body of work celebrates and centers the fullness of these community members and leaders; friends\, family\, elders\, neighbors\, co–workers\, teachers\, entrepreneurs\, artists\, students\, vendors\, and people of faith. Together\, they represent the backbone of our communities and an essential part of our social fabric. These images highlight the deep relationships we foster\, and the joys and hardships immigrant communities face living in an English-dominant society.  \n\n\n\nOver several months of interviews and visits to community centers\, family celebrations\, neighborhood hangouts\, and organizing meetings\, Xi built relationships with these individuals and listened to their aspirations\, struggles\, dreams\, love\, and resistance. Visitors are encouraged to consider the experiences of immigrants and refugees by reading their stories\, listening to their language\, and witnessing their day to day lives. Our Language\, Our Story affirms that language is far more than a means of communication. It is a vessel of memory\, a source of cultural continuity\, and a powerful assertion of self. To speak in your native language is to resist erasure\, to demand dignity\, and to claim space.  \n\n\n\n“Language helps you identify your people in a new place\, it fills your ears with familiar warmth.” \n\n\n\n– Alejandra Oliva\, Rivermouth  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead the individual stories featured in the exhibition below. \n\n\n\nBooklet_FINALDownload URL:https://galeriadelaraza.org/calendar/on-view-our-language-our-story/ LOCATION:Galería de la Raza Studio 24\, 2779 Folsom St. Suite A\, San Francisco\, California\, 94110\, United States CATEGORIES:Studio 24,Visual Art Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://galeriadelaraza.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/OLOS-Square.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251006T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251006T213000 DTSTAMP:20260405T094646 CREATED:20250807T233409Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251001T230403Z UID:2043-1759777200-1759786200@galeriadelaraza.org SUMMARY:Lunada Literary Lounge DESCRIPTION:Save the date for Lunada Literary Lounge! 🌕 \n\n\n\nJoin Galería de la Raza on Monday\, October 6 at Studio 24 for the second installment of Lunada Literary Lounge this season!

Her collection of stories Eat the Mouth That Feeds You was published by City Lights and was a finalist for a 2022 PEN Award. She has edited two compilations of essays\, Writing the Golden State: The New Literary Terrain of California (Angel City Press) and East of East: The Making of Greater El Monte (Rutgers University Press). She has published in Harper’s Bazaar\, The New York Times\, Zyzzyva\, Alta\, BOMB\, Huizache\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, ArtNews\, and Aperture Magazine. She is the Prose Editor at Huizache Magazine. Fragoza is the founder and co-director of South El Monte Arts Posse\, an interdisciplinary arts collective. She is a Whiting Literary Award recipient and Creative Writing faculty at California Institute of the Arts. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the DJ \n\n\n\nMargarita Azucar originally hails from Chicago\, and became a California transplant in her teen years. Eventually she returned to the Midwest to pursue a doctoral degree in clinical psychology at the University of Michigan. She’s had brief stints in Mexico City\, Jamaica\, Brazil\, and Paris\, but spent much of the last 20 years in San Francisco. \n\n\n\nShe has a range of musical influences: her older siblings exposed her to everything from hard rock\, metal\, to new wave\, punk\, and reggae when she was a kid; the streets of Chicago brought house music and Caribbean Latin American sounds; while family parties brought the rancheras\, polkas\, and Mexican rockabilly. She looks for lyrics and their meaning\, but also appreciates the music’s ability to bring about spiritual elevation. \n\n\n\nWhen she isn’t curating playlists (she’s evolved from mix tapes and CDs) and radio hosting\, Margarita leads diversity and inclusion strategic initiatives at a local university. She spent most of her career developing trauma-informed interventions for children\, youth\, and families and continues to approach her DJing and work through a lens of social justice and community healing.

The Fandango\, where Son Jarocho is played\, is a communal musical celebration rooted in resistance and collective liberation. Like many oral and folk traditions\, it passes down ancestral histories and knowledge while offering a structure for recording our own experiences.  \n\n\n\nOutside of México\, the Fandango has become a way for migrant communities to find and support one another. In the San Francisco Bay Area\, the melodies and rhythms of different diasporic musical traditions have become intertwined\, offering a common language for cross-cultural connection.  \n\n\n\nThe Queer Fandanguito Series invites us to queer the Fandango and imagine a tarima free of heteronormativity\, where queer dance expressions are celebrated. This musical series aims to foster meaningful connection\, cultural preservation\, and cross-border solidarities for our diasporic\, queer\, and femme communities.  \n\n\n\nJoin us Saturday\, June 14 in celebrating queer musical expressions while remaining rooted in the folk traditions of our homelands. May our traditions continue to restore our spirits and strengthen our fight for our peoples’ collective liberation. \n\n\n\nBring your instruments and dancing shoes and join us on the tarima. All levels of musical experience are welcomed!

This exhibition re-stages the East Side Story LP album covers Volumes 1-12 by centering queerness as the subjects of the popular vinyl collection of soul oldies in lowrider culture. The Q-Sides was conceived and created by Vero Majano\, Brown Angel\, and Kari Orvik.  \n\n\n\nOriginally presented in the Summer 2015\, The Q-Sides  challenged the long-held heteronormative exclusivity within the lowrider culture to unveil a queer presence. The Q-sides was part of a project series presented by Galería de la Raza that included Por Vida by Manuel Paul\, (a digital mural installation on the Bryant Street public art facing site) and the film Homeboy by Dino Dinco. \n\n\n\nThe polarizing reception these projects received transcended across local politics and social constructs\, vis-à-vis social media and presented an opportunity to address the violent erasure of queerness within the Latiné community while propelling Latiné aesthetic possibilities. Today\, the work is presented within a targeted national social-political context in which Queer and Trans existence is under attack. This ten year anniversary is a celebration of Queer resilience and as Jose Esteban Muñoz urges\, a “call for the revivification of the queer political imagination”.
