Studio is proud to host
six amazing,
provocative, and
illuminating shows as
part of Asian Pacific
Islander Cultural
Center's 20th Annual
United
States of Asian
America Festival:
Threading
Resilience.
FESTIVAL
THEME | Subject(s) of
the program(s) and/or
event(s) will focus on
themes related to
Pacific Islander and
Asian American themes
and culture, connecting
specifically to this
year’s theme of
Threading
Resilience:
-
How has identity and
visibility for APIs in
art and politics evolved
and where are themes of
identity heading?
- What intersections and
collaborations in art,
identity, and politics
have shaped, connected,
and strengthened our
communities amidst
forces of oppression in
mainstream culture and
media?
- How have we utilized
placemaking for our
community throughout
history and today? What
will it take to ensure
the collective survival
of these spaces for
future
generations?
