DESCRIPTION:&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #c21313\;&quot;&gt;FREE&lt;/strong&gt;\n\nAn ad m
 an coined the phrase &amp;ldquo\;a picture is worth a thousand words&amp;rdquo\; i
 n the 1920s to emphasize the power of graphics to compel the viewer to ado
 pt an idea or buy a product. But a picture can also be the springboard for
  new interpretations and the reimagination of the physical object\, people
 \, or places depicted. In that spirit\, we reached out to ten literary art
 s practitioners to visit the&amp;nbsp\;&lt;em&gt;At First Light: The Dawning of Asia
 n Pacific America&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp\;exhibition and select one still or moving ima
 ge sequence on display that resonates with them and sparks their creative 
 juices. They were then asked to compose an original five-minute performanc
 e piece based on that image.\n\nMusicians Dom Magwili and Tajii Miyagawa w
 ill provide the opening and closing for this special evening where the pow
 er of words\, images\, and performance meld into an experience of inventio
 n\, reflection\, and inspiration.\n\n&lt;strong&gt;ARTISTS:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp\;Teres
 a Mei Chuc\, Naomi Hirahara\, Miya Iwataki\, traci kato-kiriyama\, Kenji L
 iu\, Koji Steven Sakai\, Irene Soriano\, Amy Uyematsu\, Eric Wat\, and Sta
 n Yogi.\n\nThis program is presented in conjunction with&amp;nbsp\;&lt;em&gt;At Firs
 t Light: The Dawning of Asian Pacific America&lt;/em&gt;. It is free\, but RSVPs
