SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 25th, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Facilitated by ARC (Asian Roundtable of Colorado)
VENUE: RedLine Contemporary Art Center/ 2350 Arapahoe Street, Denver CO 80205
A workshop/training on Anti-Asian hate crimes and available resources for Colorado AAPI leaders with native Asian language and outreach capabilities. These leaders would in turn commit to distribute resources and educate their AAPI community members to build individual strength and organizational resilience against Asian Hate. To register, please contact coAsianccc@gmail.com.
Facilitated by Stella Yu, George Kuwamura, Peter Lee, Abbie Kozik and Samina Hamidi of the ARC (Asian Roundtable of Colorado). This team has a combined community building experience of over 120 years. ARC successfully outreached to the AAPI communities throughout Colorado during the 2020 Census by utilizing a State of Colorado grant and leveraging the cultural and native language expertise of Community Connectors and organization leaders.
Presented as part of inVISIBLE | hyperVISIBLE exhibition. The theme inVISIBLE | hyperVISIBLE captures the struggles of Asians and Asian Americans to survive and thrive in the face of strong anti-Asian sentiment. Asians and Asian Americans are alternately made invisible and hypervisible through stereotypes such as “model minorities,” “honorary whites,”“perpetual foreigners,” and “enemy aliens.” Yet, Asian America is remarkably complex due to cultural diversity, various migration routes, and different socioeconomic circumstances.
inVISIBLE | hyperVISIBLE will showcase Asian and Asian American artists, scholars, performers, and community organizers from different ethnic, gender, and geographic backgrounds.
