Envisioning Beyond the Silence: Asian American Filmmakers Speak their Truth, 5/20
5/20 | Envisioning Beyond the Silence: Asian American Filmmakers Speak their Truth
Thursday, May 20, 2021, 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM EDT
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders has increased indiscriminately amidst a system already notorious for its violence against communities of color. This short film series followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers centers the plight against communities of color on our AAPI brothers and sisters, connecting the dots between the silos of oppression and sequestered voices, constructed by white supremacy. This program intends to expand the narrative beyond silence.
Moderated by SMS Faculty Michelle Materre.
Presented by Creatively Speaking in collaboration with the Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice and the Institute on Race and Political Economy at The New School.
