The Asian Art Museum, 200 Larkin St. in San Francisco, will present its monthly “Matcha” event on Thursday, Nov. 1, from 5 to 9 p.m.

This month’s theme is “Photography, Fashion, + Film.” The Center for Asian American Media is co-presenting.

Dive into the heart of the vibrant Asian American film scene with special filmmaker guests, a YouTube challenge featuring interactive screenings, media installation, and live production of short films.

See the creations of Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, and other renowned Japanese fashion designers in “Stylized Sculpture: Contemporary Japanese Fashion From the Kyoto Costume Institute,” or explore time, life, and spirituality in “Hiroshi Sugimoto: History of History.”

Try a hands-on activity, stroll the galleries, take a guided tour of fashion in the museum’s collection, mingle over cocktails, move to indie/new wave tunes spun by DJ Nako, and much more.

Admission to the event is free after museum admission ($5 after 5 p.m.). For more information, call (415) 581-3500 or visit www.asianart.org.
