Betty Yu/ Chinatown Art Brigade VISITINGS

Megan Marshall

In the 3rd episode of art Work, we gather round with Geoffrey Jackson Scott, Betty Yu, and Megan Marshall to talk about generosity! Generous labor? Laborious generosity? We talk Thank You emails, listening, compensation... and so much more! We have our first segment of "+1/-1", a lightning round segment where our guests get to literally '+1' or '-1' a statement (caveats a plenty). Pizza Rat, anyone? Betty Yu is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, educator and activist. She is a co-founder of the Chinatown Art Brigade, a cultural collective telling stories of Chinatown tenants fighting gentrification through public projections. Her documentary “Resilience” about her garment worker mother fighting against sweatshop conditions, screened at national and international film festivals including the Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival.
