APAture 2024: Return | Literary Arts Showcase

Co-presented by Litquake and Oakland Asian Cultural Center

October 25, 2024 6:00PM (Doors) 6:30PM (Program)

Featuring Maw Shein Win with Sam Javellana Hill, Christine Huang, Jennifer Ng, Megan Jade Mock Noble, Noelani Piters, Danielle Shi, and Eden Julia Sugay

APAture and Litquake are both celebrating 25 years! So we’re teaming up to present the Literary Arts showcase featuring former El Cerrito poet laureate, Maw Shein Win, and we’ll be commemorating the release of her upcoming collection, Percussing the Thinking Jar (2024 Omnidawn Publishing). Co-presented with the Oakland Asian Cultural Center.

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.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Founded in 1972, during the height of the Asian Pacific American cultural movement, Kearny Street Workshop (KSW) is the oldest Asian Pacific American multidisciplinary arts organization in the country. Through collaborations with other arts organizations and cultural communities, both locally and nationally, KSW provides a forum for Asian Pacific American artists of different media to reach a wide, diverse audience. The struggles of the neighborhood defined the art produced by KSW members: low-income housing, strikes by garment and electrical union workers, and eviction of the elderly tenants of the International Hotel. KSW offers classes and workshops, salons, and student presentations, as well as professionally curated and produced exhibitions, performances, readings, and screenings. KSW makes artists out of community members and community members out of artists. For the past 50+ years, KSW has nurtured the creative spirit, offered an important platform for new voices to be heard, and connected artists with community.
