CAAMFest 2026: The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook

KSW and the Center for Asian American Media are proud to present The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook, which will be premiering at Sunday, May 10, at 4:15 pm at the AMC Kabuki.

The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook looks at the Auntie Sewing Squad, a collective of mostly BIPOC women sewists, organized by performance artist Kristina Wong, who saved the world at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the Aunties, sewing and donating masks was not just about meeting a public health need, it was a way to address feminism, anti-racism, allyship, and destroying white supremacy.
