Visual Communications is proud to announce that we have received a prestigious community-based archives grant from New York-based Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which will enable VC to complete “Making Memories Matter Again,” a years-long process to digitize, preserve, and activate the “born-on-film” component of its Asian Pacific American Photographic Archive.
Read MoreIn anticipation of Visual Communications’ 50th anniversary celebration, we are pleased to bring back a series of documentaries built around the vast holdings of the VC Archives, compiled, lensed, and edited by VC co-founders Duane Kubo and Eddie Wong. Accompanied by revealing interviews with many of the subjects who were captured in their younger days by VC founders and core staffers, these short films provide a glimpse into the spirit and vitality of the burgeoning Asian American Movement in all its forms. Join us for a special Monday Nite VC conversation on Monday, November 16, 2020 at 5pm PT featuring special guests as they discuss the VC Archives and its ongoing legacy.
