In May 2021, IAS faculty member Masahiro Sugano<\/a> and his media lab Studio Revolt<\/a> responded to a rise in anti-Asian violence with a short film titled \u201cListen Asshole\u201d based on a poem by the spoken word duo Yellow Rage. 足彩app哪个是正规的 poem, originally written 20 years ago by Michelle Myers and Catzie Vilayphonh, sought to defy stereotypes that many people perpetuate about Asian Americans and called out the systematic erasure of Asian American history and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 collaborators included producing partner and IAS faculty member Anida Yoeu Ali<\/a> who felt an expression of rage by and for Asian American women was urgently needed because quiet vigils, private grief, and “nice” celebrity PSAs were not enough and continued to shroud their communities with a dangerous silencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 resulting short film was produced, filmed and edited in less than a month on a shoestring budget. In this short film, the Philadelphia-based poetry duo Yellow Rage perform their poem \u201cListen Asshole\u201d against a backdrop of people who represent the APIA community\u2019s most vulnerable populations and to whom the words are ultimately meant to protect and serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugano’s short film “Listen Asshole” was awarded a first place prize in \u201cBest Enhanced Performance\u201d for the 2021 Artist Forum\u2019s Spoken Word Video Competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
