Join APICC archivist Haneen Mohamed in workshopping strategies to preserve your work for future generations!&nbsp; Haneen Mohamed is a Sudanese multimedia artist, storyteller, and archivist. Her archival work and artwork are intimately entwined, both seeking to explore the intricacies and contradictions of diasporic experience. Haneen is anostalgia-junkie interested in how Sudanese communities rectify diasporic ruptures through subversive collective memory practices and radical imagination. Her current projects include the Sudan Tapes Archive, an audio digitization project that seeks to build an accessible archive of Sudanese music, sonic history and culture. Her archival work has been featured on Dazed Middle East, NTS Radio, and Public Radio. ABOUT THE EXHIBITION In 1996, facing dwindling resources, five San Francisco Asian American arts organizations (Asian American Dance Performances, First Voice, Asian Improv aRts, the Asian American Theater Company, and Kearny Street Workshop) banded together to form the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC). In the words of this year&rsquo;s United States of Asian America Festival theme, APICC was a Common Ground for our community to advance our art and activism.<div dir="auto" fr-original-style="vertical-align: baseline; background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); margin-inline-start: 0px !important; margin: 0px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: wfont_302691_1eecd15e8de64e1cb044ed3bb2a88eac, wf_1eecd15e8de64e1cb044ed3bb, orig_source_sans_pro; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.5; min-height: auto; print-color-adjust: exact; text-decoration: none; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;" style="vertical-align: baseline; background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: wfont_302691_1eecd15e8de64e1cb044ed3bb2a88eac, wf_1eecd15e8de64e1cb044ed3bb, orig_source_sans_pro; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.5; min-height: auto; print-color-adjust: exact; text-decoration: none; box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; margin-inline-start: 0px !important; margin: 0px;"> </div>Thirty years later, APICC endures, but the forces that threatened its founding organizations are back with a vengeance.
