1.5 Reimaginings: A Collision Course in Time and Dual Pandemics
October 8, 2020
Virtual Event
Tune in on Zoom or Facebook Live to join Chanida Phaengdara Potter, Executive Director of the Southeast Asian Diaspora Project, in conversation with Kat Eng, Van Hai, Chantala Kommanivanh, Sisavanh Phouthavong, and Xee Reiter, artists showcased in 1.5: A Southeast Asian Diaspora Remix.
The conversation will be moderated by Renee Ya, a multimedia Hmong American artist, co-founder of the technology and gaming company Tiger Byte Studios, and mother to the next generation of feisty women warriors.
Together, they will move through time to reflect on the 45th commemoration of diasporas from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, racism against Asian Americans that has flared since COVID-19, the relationship between the cyclical violence of American imperialism and white supremacy, and community-centered pathways to healing and thriving.
