With Her Voice, She Rises

A Celebration of API Women in Performance & Literature

In a first-time collaboration, Asian Pacific Islander arts organizations APICC, Bindlestiff Studio and Kundiman invite the community to commemorate Women’s History Month with a celebratory showcase of API women artists.

Resident Bindlestiff and Kundiman artists will perform monologues and literary works conveying intimate and profound expressions of womanhood, identity and lineage. Beginning on International Women’s Day on March 8, this celebration is in deep appreciation and solidarity with API Women, their unique experiences, and their cultural impact through performance and literature.

This collaborative literary/performance showcase is in support of the exceptional featured artists and the long-standing organizations. Join us on March 8 for International Women’s Day or March 9 for a special event reception with refreshments.

Ava Tong will be performing a monologue piece "Strength," a true story from 2011 and was written as a process of healing. No names have been changed to expose the guilty. This will be the first time Ava's heart will be revisiting this dark memory.

Sally Wen Mao is the author of the recently released Oculus (Graywolf Press.) She is the recipient of a Cullman Center Fellowship from the New York Public Library and her work has won a Pushcart Prize.
