InnerGenerational: Becoming Ancestors
InnerGenerational: Becoming Ancestors is a collective dream of ancestries and realities. A recognition of trauma, and an exploration of healing. An altar for unforgettable stories and their ghosts — through music, rap, poetry, comedy, dance, and more.

Asian Heritage Month
Through this project we hope to engage multi-generational audiences in the Asian community, with an emphasis on Asian youth. The programming is intended to draw in Asian audiences through representation that reflects them. We hope to connect with Asian community members across the diaspora as well as newcomers, LGBTQIA+ audiences as well as those interested in diverse perspectives on the second-generation Asian experience.
“We are healing and rewiring our intergenerational trauma through the stage by stepping into the light instead of cowering in shame.”
