Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Here is independent documentary filmmaker and graphic artist Marissa Kitazawa's contribution in her own words:
My idea for this holiday is deeply inspired by my mentor Tony Osumi and a workshop he created, called Feast of Resistance. His workshop aimed to explore the political and forgotten stories within the Asian American community through food. I wanted to use this concept and apply it towards a larger community, in hopes of creating pan-ethnic coalition building and community engagement. This assignment has challenged me to try to think of a holiday that can engage the public into some type of social justice dialogue. For myself, politicization comes from a very personal level and I wanted to create a day that would provide an inclusive space for others to begin to explore activism. I’ve attached an info graphic below of what I’d envision for a new holiday. A feast of resistance would be a space to create intergenerational, interracial and interfaith dialogue.
