In this intergenerational project, Jean Wu and Katie Li will facilitate workshops for AAPI individuals to:

• Connect lived racialized experience as an Asian American to a history of Asian America and systems of power that shape the diaspora’s lived experiences

• Gain access to knowledge of Asian America and what it means to be Asian in the United States in the present day, including issues of political identity.

• Develop and sustain a meaningful and intentional community with each other and larger Asian American communities.

• Understand what it means to stand up for justice and practice standing up for justice and resisting oppression at different levels.

The project will employ a variety of a teaching methods, including experience-based improv theater, audio-visual media, and guided discussion for reflection and sharing.
