My Mother’s Tongue Ties Me Together Video Screenings
Join us for a screening of the two films featured in the 2026 Charlotte Street Visual Artist Awards, My Mother's Tongue Ties Me Together—Hùng Lê'sTrở Về Quê Hương and Noelle Choy's Wonders of the World. Trở Về Quê Hương—In 2023, Hùng Lê traveled back to Việt Nam with his family for the first time in many years. During the trip, Lê documented intimate moments of everyday life to recreate a sense of place without relying on language. Overlaid with patterns and stylized text, Lê’s video attempts to forgo the use of written language in storytelling and instead relies on visual motifs and sounds as the main interpreters.Wonders of the World–Noelle Choy’s mother immigrated to San Francisco from Taiwan. In 2024, Choy and her brother met their aunt in the Bay Area to remap their mother’s life before they were born. They visited landmark locations from her story, including the restaurant her family would go to in Oakland and the rose garden where she married. This rhythmic, non-linear, collage-style video feels dream-like and becomes focused on the relationships between Choy, her aunt, and her brother, with Choy’s mother and grandmother as silent fourth and fifth characters.

Wordmaking Workshop, Presented by New Material Books
In this workshop, we’ll explore ways that poets and artists engage in “Wordmaking”—spelling words differently or coining new words altogether. Discussing different reasons for this special poetic activity and how it can expand your imagination and writing practice, we'll also engage in several writing prompts meant to jump-start your own wordmaking abilities. We’ll end with a final activity in which participants create broadsides with the words they've made.Saturday, December 13, 2025 from 10 AM–2 PM
2025 Artist Assembly
Artist Assembly is a biennial program that seeks to identify the needs and assets of the Kansas City artist community. Individuals identifying as artists, culture bearers, and artist organizers come together for a four-hour long conference to identify needs facing the community as well as local resources that are available to them. In addition to hosting and moderating the conversation, Charlotte Street will document these efforts and will publish the content of these discussions. The publication serves both as a tool for the community to use in shaping the Kansas City arts ecosystem and as a framework for building Charlotte Street programs, resources, and materials in the coming years. Free lunch and daycare services will be provided to all participants.
Free lunch will be provided to all participants. Please RSVP to reserve your complimentary meal!
