Abstract
This interview with Jenny Leung, the Executive Director of the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco, was conducted by Jan English-Lueck as part of the Mosaic Atlas project. Jenny views her work as an advocate and voice of the community as her gift to her community. Topics discussed include the history of the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco as inspired by the Civil Rights movement and the ongoing work of building sustainability, advocacy, and empowering the community through arts and culture programming. The Center supports various artistic expressions, from traditional arts and crafts to contemporary arts for social justice. The Center builds solidarity with other communities of color, organizing cross-cultural collaborations and advocacy efforts. As part of the Mosaic Atlas project, Mosaic Staff and Volunteers, SJSU students, and faculty from the Anthropology and Film, Theater, and Dance Departments interviewed people who support and produce art throughout the Bay Area.
