Curated by David Cao, Lehua Taitano
This film showcase features the works of Teao Sense, Sophia Perez, Angelique Kalano Axelrode, Joyce Keokham, Elaine Nguyen, and featured artist Jalena Keane-Lee. These varied and poignant works explore cultural knowledge and belonging through a variety of different lenses: educational shows and music videos that foreground the lived experience of the AAPI diaspora, poignant reflections on cultural belonging and embodiment, and a documentary that highlights Indigenous Hawaiians' righteous struggles for self-determination.
The theme for this year is RETURN. From the Palestinian right to return, the call for Indigenous Land Back, and the various migrant histories and struggle for justice in our Pacific Islander and Asian communities, artists consider what the idea of return means to them.
