Through this festival, AAPI dance artists tell our stories of heritage, family, immigration, colonization, and assimilation. We remember the struggles and hardships of the first generations who came to the United States. We celebrate their resilience and triumphs. We recognize what we as Asian and Pacific Islanders inherit, and we uncover what we as Americans take on or let go of. We recognize and embrace our journey to become not just Asians and Pacific Islanders in America, but to become Asian Americans...finding our place in this melting pot of cultures.
