Experience Bridging Communities: "Echoes of Identity & Resistance" at the Brooks Theater (217 N. Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA)—a multidisciplinary performance that centers movement, memory, and cultural resilience to explore what it means to belong, to remember, and to resist. Through dance, spoken word, film, and storytelling, the program amplifies the voices of Asian and Pacific Islander artists and community members, creating a space where diasporic identity and ancestral memory come into dialogue. Weaving together personal histories and collective truths, this powerful event holds space for healing, transformation, and creative expression. In a time when cultural erasure and displacement persist, we return to our bodies, our stories, and each other—using art as a bridge between communities, generations, and geographies."
