More Than a Single Story and the Coalition of Asian American Leaders (CAAL) invite you to join us for a virtual intergenerational conversation between Asian Minnesotan artists David Mura, Katie Hae Leo and Julia Gay as they honor the 30th anniversary of the Asian American Renaissance and discuss how our history of arts organizing has shaped the current landscape of AAPI movement in Minnesota. Why was the Asian American Renaissance so significant for our community and what should we be dreaming up next?

With the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans, sharing knowledge intergenerationally is more important than ever. Embracing our Roots: Asian Americans Rooted and Rising reaches back into the rich history of Asian American social justice movements in Minnesota in order to pass this knowledge on to the new generation ascending as leaders. The series features Asian elders in conversation with young leaders to discuss significant milestones in Minnesota's Asian history and the impact that the artists and the movements have had on our present day capacity to survive the storms and keep creating.

Embracing Our Roots: Asian Americans Rooted and Rising is a partnership between More Than a Single Story and the Coalition of Asian American Leaders (CAAL)
