Photographer Leslie Kee lived in Japan for 25 years. As a bisexual himself\, he trains his gaze routinely on subjects of taboo and discrimination. He was the perfect match for the “Out In Japan\,” aiming to eventually feature 10\,000 LGBTQIA+s throughout Japan. He feels the time has come to push back against the pervasive prejudice and legal discrimination. The film follows the ambitious project for over a year as Leslie completes the first 1\,000 portraits. We get to intimately know a set of very different protagonists: two women\, deeply in love\, who have their first child and are faced with a society not ready to accommodate their family structure. Another woman\, devastated by the loss of her female partner to suicide\, finds hope in finally fulfilling her lifelong ambition of becoming a man. And a gay university professor who fights against the steep discrimination HIV-positives still face in Japan. Even Leslie himself has a life-changing experience. \nDirected by Ayumi Nakagawa. This film will be screened in Japanese and have English subtitles. \n(2018; 79 min; Japan; Japanese; Color; Digital) \nFollowing the screening of “Portraits of the Rainbow\,” Pride Portraits founder Eric Edward Schell will speak about how he created a global movement in Houston\, Texas by combining activism and photography. The LGBTQIA+ community and its allies\, with the help of Pride Portraits have a platform to share their narratives their way. Schell will also speak about Stonewall 50\, and what this past June meant for LGBTQIA+ History. \nOver the past two and a half years\, Pride Portraits has become the largest LGBTQIA+ visibility campaign to date. The campaign\, comprised of a photograph and statement from each participant\, seeks to represent the community and its allies one photograph and story at a time. \n \n REGISTER TO ATTEND URL:https://hmh.org/event/portraits-of-the-rainbow/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:FILM SCREENING ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/photo_3_ocean.jpg__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T090000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122424 CREATED:20230809T080410Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T130923Z UID:10000328-1564642800-1564650000@hmh.org SUMMARY:National Deli Month DESCRIPTION:During National Delicatessen Month\, August 1-31\, both Kenny and Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen & Restaurant locations are offering a multi-choice\, three-course menu during lunch and dinner for $38\, plus tax and gratuity\, with 10 percent of each meal sold going to HMH to fund the Museum’s education programs. \nAs an added incentive\, HMH will offer anyone who purchases a National Deli Month meal a complimentary ticket. \nFor more information\, visit www.delimonth.com. \n \n SEE THE MENU URL:https://hmh.org/event/national-deli-month/ LOCATION:Both Kenny & Ziggy’s locations CATEGORIES:Celebration ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/ziggy_1975.jpg__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190831T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122424 CREATED:20230809T080413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T130908Z UID:10000331-1564642800-1567285200@hmh.org SUMMARY:National Deli Month DESCRIPTION:During National Delicatessen Month\, August 1-31\, both Kenny and Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen & Restaurant locations are offering a multi-choice\, three-course menu during lunch and dinner for $38\, plus tax and gratuity\, with 10 percent of each meal sold going to HMH to fund the Museum’s education programs. \nAs an added incentive\, HMH will offer anyone who purchases a National Deli Month meal a complimentary ticket. \nFor more information\, visit www.delimonth.com. \n \n SEE THE MENU URL:https://hmh.org/event/national-deli-month-3/ LOCATION:Both Kenny & Ziggy’s locations CATEGORIES:Celebration ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/ziggy_1975.jpg__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122424 CREATED:20230802T113433Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T113524Z UID:10000076-1564653600-1564659000@hmh.org SUMMARY:Boniuk Library Book Club – “Little Fires Everywhere” DESCRIPTION:Join the Boniuk Library Book Club at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston for a special meeting where books and art collide.

Between 1939 and 1945\, Bill and his family lived on the run. Bill\, the eldest son of Sender and Sonia Orlinski\, was seven years old when German troops invaded Poland and occupied his hometown of Brok. The Jewish residents were forcibly marched to Ostrow Mazowiecki\, about 50 miles northwest of Warsaw. \nThe forced march\, although terrifying at the time\, may have saved the family’s lives. Once Bill and his family were in Soviet-controlled Poland\, they continued their eastward journey into the Soviet interior\, where they remained in relative safety for the rest of WWII. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941 the family “ran\,” recalls Bill. Although the family was together\, life was tremendously difficult\, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years. \nThis special event will be at Kenny & Ziggy’s for National Delicatessen Month. Attendees may attend for free but are encouraged to purchase a multi-choice\, three-course menu for $38\, plus tax and gratuity\, with 10% of each meal sold going to HMH to fund the Museum’s education programs.

In December 2018 and January 2019\, students engaged in an art project intended to help them remember their towns\, cities and countries as well as the culture and history of where they came from. While psychologists and attorneys witnessed depressed and anxious youth\, held in prison like settings\, they were able to create beautiful art that spoke to their desire to be free.\nYolanda Chávez Leyva was born and raised on the Ciudad Juárez-El Paso border and has dedicated her life to listening to and documenting the histories of fronterizos\, border people. She specializes in border history\, public and oral history and Chicana history.

Participants will have an opportunity to learn how to make sugar skulls\, paper flowers and create papel picado in honor of Día de los Muertos. \nThe sugar skulls\, flowers\, and papel picado created in this workshop will also be included in the community ofrenda (altar) displayed in the museum through November. \nTheresa Escobedo (b. 1985) \nTheresa Escobedo is a multi-disciplinary artist\, curator\, and arts administrator active in Houston. Her creative work intersects ancestry\, history\, and spiritualism\, and combines elements of the artist’s mixed cultural heritage to demonstrate and ultimately represent broad ancestral influences and cosmopolitan spiritual perspectives. Her practice has evolved to include the design and installation of ofrendas\, each of which demonstrates a decisive act of remembrance and works to safeguard familial mythologies\, complex cultural histories\, and spiritual pursuits. These days\, her approach to altar-making merges indigenous practices with contemporary influences and affirms the universality of the practice of altar-making as an art form. \nHer most recent work\, presented at Holocaust Museum Houston\, has its roots in the family history described in the book Stolen Heritage. Authored by the artist’s third cousin\, Abel Rubio\, the published tome offers anecdotal accounts of a family’s struggle for survival in the Texas/Mexican frontier\, participation on both sides of the conflict during the Texas/Mexican revolution\, and the post-revolutionary trauma of stolen life and land. \nThe event will be hosted in person and is for all ages. Admission is free and open to the public. \nPlease note: Face masks are required for all guests ages 2 and up. Complimentary masks are available at the Security desk. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/community-art-workshop-dia-de-los-muertos/ LOCATION:Holocaust Museum Houston Classroom CATEGORIES:Community Gathering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/ofrenda.jpg-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20191010T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20191010T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122425 CREATED:20230802T120005Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T120013Z UID:10000091-1570698000-1570705200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Boniuk Library Book Club — “The Library Book” DESCRIPTION:This month Boniuk Library’s Book Club is joining hundreds of readers across the Gulf Coast Region in reading\, discussing\, and attending special events around this year’s Gulf Coast Reads pick: “The Library Book\,” by Susan Orlean. \nEqual parts true crime and love-letter to libraries\, “The Library Book” examines the Los Angeles Public Library fire.
