Angry Asian Feminists Unite January 24
We’re here! We’re angry! Get used to it!
“Angry Asian Feminists Unite!” is an art show, a zine and a call to action… for and by angry Asian feminists!
January 24, 5-8pm at Welcome To Chinatown Hub, 115 Bowery
*This event is open to all. Masks and negative covid tests are required. Both are provided.
2021’s rise in anti-Asian racism until today’s rise in Islamophobia— how has this affected Asian women, femmes and gender expansive people? Angry Asian Womxn has spearheaded this project to showcase and unify our beautifully diverse community as we talk about this topic with art, writing, photography, a ton of practical advice, and hopefully healing. With this project, you will hear from Angry Asian feminists from diverse backgrounds and genders talking about being survivors of the systemic oppression that unites us all.
On Friday, January 24th, our art opening and zine launch coincides with the week of Inauguration Day, a perfect time for us to come together as a community and a perfect time for mutual aid and community care. Come get free food (to go), snacks, tea packets, self defense tools, subway safety guides, N-95s, self care items and more at the event! We will have a craft table (lots of crafts can be taken home too!) and practice pepper spray station from 5-7pm with @artnsoulhealing @allaboutdatcase
Dr. Emily Siy @emilygraceacupuncture will be giving free ear seed treatments from 5-7pm.
Our reading from the zine and acupressure workshop from Emily will start at 7pm.
**VIRTUAL OPTION will be 7pm-8pm**
