Stir Fry Stories Artists' Talk: Have you eaten yet? Come join us at the Center for Creativity (Hotel Sequoia) for a morning talk where San Mateo County-based Asian American artists Don Miralles, Na Omi Shintani, and VC Tang share live song, artwork, stories, and mother-inspired light breakfast. Have you eaten yet? is the true hello in many Asian cultures. This newly-formed collective of creatives give us their take on how art and stories feed our hunger, and not just for food. **Artist bios are below. This event is free and open to the public though registration is required as seating and food are limited. Your commitment to attending is much appreciated to account for space and a good experience for all. This event is funded by the Redwood City Arts Commission and the San Mateo County Office of Arts and Culture, and hosted by the Center for Creativity. **Don Miralles is a Daly City-based multidisciplinary artist, utilizing music as an instrument to alchemize pain. Don speaks on love, the human condition, anguish, heartbreak, self-empowerment, gratitude, hope, and healing, inviting others to dive deeper into their own stories. Extremely proud of his Filipino roots, Don incorporates his culture into his music whether it be through lyrics, live performance elements, videos depicting themes of the Philippines. Through his artistry, he encourages transformation, rebirth, and a fiery passion to pursue your creative ideas, and hearts calling. **Na Omi Shintani resides in Half Moon Bay and is an artivist, community artist, and culture bearer. She organizes coastside intergenerational community engagement opportunities for Asian American Pacific Islander art exhibitions, performances, spoken word, and workshops. Her art includes familial, historical, and cultural storytelling, inspiring dialogue and connection. **VC Tang, based in San Carlos, is a traditional, interdisciplinary artist and culture bearer. Her work invites local audiences to pause and invoke - in spirit and/or in contemplation - in a culture of busy-ness. She facilitates participatory experiences rooted in Asian arts: ceremonial blessings, tea and food tastings, and Tai Chi movement healing. Her work stretches mainstream definitions of art and culture by making ancestral wisdom accessible for modern day arts enthusiasts on the Peninsula. Information Source: VC Tang | eventbrite
