  BKA is excited to announce that it will be co-presenting the shorts series "re: Home" at the Boston Asian American Film Festival this year!  

   

  From the BAAFF website:

   

  "How do you internalize race when your adoptive family is a different race than you? How do you find a sense of community when you straddle different worlds? Centered around Korean Adoption, this series of shorts examines the complexities that come with being adopted away from your birth country."

   

  This series will feature four shorts:

  • ·         Side by Side: Out of a South Korean Orphanage (Documentary), directed by Glenn and Julia Morey

  • ·         The Beach House (Narrative), directed by Eric Elizaga

  • ·         Dear Mother (Documentary), directed by Matthew Kaundart

  • ·         A Letter for Sang Ah (Documentary), directed by Mina Fitzpatrick

  They will be screened on Monday, October 22, 2018 at the Pao Center for the Arts (90 Albany Street, Chinatown, Boston MA). 

   

  For more information, film descriptions and director bios and to purchase tickets, please visit the BAAFF website directly at:

  Looking forward to seeing you there!

  Have you ever thought you benefitted from being a trans-national adoptee?  Have you sometimes felt "guilty" for what you received?  Have you felt a sense of internalized guilt/racism towards other Koreans?  Have you felt like you have needed to constantly navigate through being Korean, yet feeling "White" on the inside?

  
  

  If so, this discussion is for you.  

  
  

  Join us for October's discussion group on October 29th. While we always welcome drop-ins, if you know you're coming please register to make sure we have enough food.
  

   

  Impact Hub/CIC is located at 50 Milk Street, in downtown Boston. Check in at the front desk, let them know you're here for a BKA event at ImpactHub, and take an elevator up.

  
  

  There is street parking and then the Post Office Garage has the best rate: https://www.posquare.com/rates-hours/
  

  
  

  BKA Discussion Group is made possible by a grant from the Korean Ministry of Health and Wellness. Previously, the discussion group has hosted events on various film screenings and discussions on KAD conferences, anxiety, stereotypes, relationships, and families among adoptees.
  
  If you have topics that you're interested in or feedback you want to share, please contact Laura Jee (LKnuttunen@gmail.com), Timothy Rehberg (rehbergtimothy@gmail.com) or reach out to a board member.

  Join waitlist

  Once again, BKA is teaming up with the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts to offer a Korean cooking class.

   

  Join us for a private cooking class to learn how to make a few dishes, try a few foods and have a little fun.

   

  The classes normally have a cost of $85 per person but, thanks to a generous grant from Korea's Ministry of Health and Wellness, we're able to subsidize these quite a bit. It will only cost you $20 per session if you're a member, $30 if you're a non-member.  

   

  We have to meet an 8 person minimum for the class to run (13 person max). Friends and guests welcome! 

   

  Registration will be open to BKA members (all levels) through Friday, October 19.  Then, it will be available to everyone - non-members and guests - on Saturday, October 20. If we reach the 13 person limit, we will open up a wait list.
