In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, AAPI performers, artists, film makers, and organizations faced several challenges - both strengths in adaptation to new platforms as well as pressures in the financial realm due to limited funding for the arts, the need for narrative change, and the lack of diversity in Hollywood. This session explores new approaches to funding the arts, successes in expanding community access to performances on digital platforms, mobilizing community action and resource distribution, and addressing anti-AAPI hate and racial representation through the arts and film industry. Clips will be screened from the May 19th Project, which works to build upon the powerful mobilizing narrative of Stop AAPI Hate and moves the narrative to the next stage by focusing on solidarity -- which is about seeing each other, standing together, and acting together—and solutions for the way forward.
