SUMMARY:Hong Kong Cinema and Singapore—The Cinematic Connection between Two Cities during the Cold War Era (1950–1965)
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Cinematic Ties Between Hong Kong and Singapore During the Cold War\nFree Public Talk at Clark County Historical Museum\nSaturday\, August 2\, 2025 | 2:00 PM | 1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA \nJoin us at the Clark County Historical Museum for a captivating free talk by scholar and filmmaker Dr. Grace Yan-yan Mak (麥欣恩) as she presents “Hong Kong Cinema and Singapore—The Cinematic Connection between Two Cities during the Cold War Era (1950–1965).” \nIn this engaging program\, Dr. Mak will explore how geopolitical tensions in the 1950s transformed the landscape of Chinese-language cinema. With China’s growing isolation during the Cold War\, Hong Kong rose to prominence as a new filmmaking powerhouse—shaping cultural narratives across Asia and forging deep cinematic ties with Singapore and Malaya. \nDiscover how these two British colonies were connected through shared audiences\, artistic visions\, and cinematic representations that reflected a broader “overseas Chinese” identity. Through film analysis and historical context\, Dr. Mak will shine a light on the studios\, stories\, and cultural forces that defined this vibrant cinematic exchange. \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Grace Yan-yan Mak is a Hong Kong–born scholar\, writer\, and filmmaker with a Ph.D. in Chinese Studies from the National University of Singapore. She serves on the board of the Northwest China Council and is a former apprentice to director Tsui Hark. Dr. Mak has published extensively on Chinese cinema and literature and co-founded Banyan Tree Movies. \nAdmission is free and open to all. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the intersections of history\, politics\, and film.

SUMMARY:They Want Our Rhythm\, But Not Our Blues: African American Innovation Through Pop Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Clark County Historical Museum is excited to present “They Want Our Rhythm\, But Not Our Blues: African American Innovation Through Pop Culture\,” a thought-provoking lecture by LaToya Brackett presented through the generous support of the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau . This event is part of the CCHM Speaker Series and will explore the profound impact of African American culture on popular culture\, from music to sports\, language\, food\, and more. \nDate: Friday\, April 4\, 2025Time: 7:00 PM (Doors open at 5:00 PM)Location: Clark County Historical Museum1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 978660 \nAdmission: FREE \n\nEvent Details\nAfrican Americans have long faced the oppression of freedom and expression. Yet\, they have consistently demonstrated remarkable creativity\, building a vibrant culture from the struggles and barriers they faced. Their innovations\, born of necessity and resilience\, have shaped mainstream pop culture—but often\, these contributions have been appropriated by those who do not fully understand or embrace the hardships from which they emerged. “They Want Our Rhythm\, But Not Our Blues” explores this dynamic\, asking us to consider how African American culture is shaped by both the joys and the pain of its people. \nLaToya Brackett’s presentation will dive into the intersections of African American culture across music\, sports\, language\, food\, and even hair. This lecture calls on the audience to look beyond the rhythm to recognize the blues that lie beneath\, appreciating the rich\, layered history of Black pop culture. Through this exploration\, LaToya will shed light on how African American culture is not just an influence but a vital and complex part of modern pop culture\, represented through unique artistic styles and expressions.
