This Month’s Feature:

Jewelry by Pat Tseng

Pat Tseng has been designing jewelry since the mid 70s and her works have been featured a number of institutions including the Bowers Museum of Cultural Arts, the De Young Museum, the Asian Art Museum, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In her necklaces, the artist uses materials such as jades, silver, coral, ivory, and other semi precious stones. Choosing them carefully, she combines these materials with silk cords, painstakingly hand-sewn to the desired width. These tube like silk cords have become Tseng’s signature design.

San Francisco’s Chinatown (2006)

by Judy Yung & Chinese Historical Society of America

This book is a collection of vintage photographs, taken from public archives and private collections, that offers a look at the hidden face of Chinatown and shows the realities of daily life and how the Chinese community struggled against racial hostility, exclusion laws, two major earthquakes, and urban renewal. The images are organized into three historical periods, providing a view of this community’s transformation from the 1850s to the present day.
