6) HAPIHour Benefit for MANAA - 4/21
---------------------------------------------------------
From.hapihour.org:
Join us April 21 in support of MANAA, the MEDIA ACTION NETWORK FOR ASIAN AMERICANS (www.manaa.org), an organization solely dedicated to monitoring all facets of the media – television, motion pictures, print, advertising, radio, etc. – and advocating balanced, sensitive and positive portrayals of Asian Americans. The all-volunteer, non-profit group was formed in April of 1992 to address the negative stereotypes long perpetuated by the media which detrimentally affects all Asian Americans, hurting not only their self-image, but how non-Asians treat them.
Our April event is co-presented by Visual Communications, an APA media arts center that seeks to make the arts accessible to all communities in the Greater LA area.
*The $10 optional donations at the door will go to MANAA.
We'll converge on The Mountain Bar in Los Angeles Chinatown (themountainbar.com). An eclectic team of artists completely refurbished the former home of Chinatown's oldest restaurant, the General Lee. On the surface, its striking red paint job, cascading ceilings and feng shui design feel vintage Hill Street. Deeper inspection reveals artistic modern touches like color-clustered, triangular floor tiles, propeller-like paper lamp constellations and textured walls that appear to be melting. Locals and adventurous Eastsiders situate themselves under the custom-carved bar's translucent shelves or lounge on leather benches positioned around the room's perimeter.
