Arts & Activism: Reflections from Curtis Chin and Bino Realuyo
On Wednesday October 20th, 2021, Asian American Studies Program and Center at Hunter College held an online event on Zoom "Arts & Activism: Reflections from Curtis Chin and Bino Realuyo"
Between the AIDS crisis, attacks on the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Miss Saigon controversy, artists and activists in the early '90s needed to find new ways to build solidarity and counter invisibility. Founded in 1991, the Asian American Writers Workshop (AAWW) was a product of these times.
Join a discussion with two of the organization's co-founders - Curtis Chin, award-winning writer and documentary filmmaker, and acclaimed novelist Bino Realuyo - and learn how the AAWW built the foundation from its roots. The discussion will be moderated by Vivian Louie, Director of the Asian American Studies Center and Program at Hunter College and Professor of Urban Policy and Planning.
