About the event

Come join us for the opening reception of Holding Half the Sky 頂半邊天, a photo exhibit and installation honoring the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking strike led by 135 Asian immigrant garment workers in San Francisco. The strike spanned nearly a year of picketing with multiple arrests and forever shifted the perception of Asian women in labor. 


On view into March 2025 at City College's Chinatown Campus, next door to the former Jung Sai Garment Factory. The exhibit shows San Francisco’s labor movement as seen through the lens of Asian immigrant women, a testament to the prowess of women workers worldwide. 《Holding Half the Sky 頂半邊天》紀念中西 (Jung Sai) 製衣廠罷工行動的五十週年和致敬帶領這開創性罷工的135名亞裔女工。這次罷工維持了將近一年的糾察活動,導致多名工人被捕,最終改變了公眾對亞裔女工在勞工運動的地位和影響力。該行動顯現了亞裔女工的英勇和堅毅。該展覽通過攝影和藝術裝置展示華埠亞裔移民婦女對三藩市勞工運動的影響。展覽將在三藩市市立大學華埠校區開幕,毗鄰前中西製衣廠。

《Holding Half the Sky 頂半邊天》展覽是由鄺楚螢策劃和創作,並有 Asian Improv aRts 與 its AIR Fellowship Program一同創辦。該計劃是由 California Arts Council Impact Grant 資助。
