Upcoming Kundiman Events:
Asian American Feminist Writing Workshop resources
Presented by Kundiman & Asian American
Feminist Collective
February 2021–May 2021
This workshop gives participants the opportunity to celebrate the strong tradition of Asian American feminist writers and activists by using Asian American feminist history to inspire our own creative writing. In this three-month program, we will engage with the work of Asian American feminists before us and take inspiration from them as we create our own.
class resources:
Though class size was limited, we are sharing our syllabus and readings with the public; please read along with us this year!
Asian American Feminist Collective:
Asian American Feminist Collective engage in intersectional feminist politics grounded within our communities, including those whose backgrounds encompass East, Southeast, and South Asian, Pacific Islander, multi-ethnic and diasporic Asian identities. Through public events and resources, AAFC seek to provide spaces for identity exploration, political education, community building, and advocacy.
Asian American feminism is a world-building project. The beauty of the Asian American feminist movement is that we can continue to shape and evolve it. We must constantly reflect upon and refine a political agenda that works for all of us. AAFC’s goal is to continue interrogating and defining this movement as well as producing different spaces and resources to build stronger coalitions, connect people in the Asian American community, and produce new ideas.
