He is the author of six previous collections of poetry, The Book of Perceptions, Placing the Accents, Dust and Conscience, Within The Margins, Four Letter Words and 100 words ( co-authored with Damon Potter.) He also authored the children’s book, Going Home Coming Home, an artist monograph, I Meant To Say Please Past the Sugar. His poems and books have been translated into Spanish, French and Dutch. He is the recipient of The Poetry Center Prize, The Fund For Poetry Grant, The California Arts Council Grant and numerous San Francisco Arts Commission Grants. Truong is also a visual artist who believes that art, be it poetry, cooking, sculpting and even gardening, are his ways of thinking through the conscious of the times we live in. Of the endeavor that is book of the other, Truong says” This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I set out to write a book with the premise and constraint of honesty. It took a decade of struggle to write, to circle back, to say the thing that needed to be said and perhaps another lifetime to hold. This book is not the performance of anger. It is angry. This book is not performing otherness. I am the other or so I am told again and again.” Truong lives in San Francisco and currently teaches at Mills College, Oakland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1677739865244-G1LH0P0TVSO4KEU0S3WT/fatimakola_0.jpg Blog - Announcing our IWL 2023 Instructors! - F.T.

KSW Presents featured artist in 2017 . There is no other space like Kearny Street Workshop, an organization that not only cares about the representational value of Asian Americans in the arts but increasingly determined to forge important socially and politically rich connections with other communities aimed at transforming systems of injustices. As someone who has benefited immensely from KSW support as a performer, writer, workshop leader, and more, I find my artistic career and political life deeply altered by the values that shape this space, how each participation asks me to think more deeply about how my art can make the world better. I am inspired to make this commitment everyday when I consider the example that KSW has set. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1606992203882-Y2H9PWC1QN97WROEF0JK/Author+Photo+3.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Arhm Choi Wild Poet, author of “Cut to Bloom” (Write Bloody Publishing). KSW Presents featured artist in 2020. It can be hard to find spaces that support marginalized narratives, making the work of KSW so vitally important. Through their programming, social media presence, and the integrity through which they support Asian American voices, they not only create homes for our nuanced and varied stories but also help us believe that our stories belong in the landscape of American literature. KSW sets the stage for us to create literature that is true to all that we are, and helps us to imagine what all we could become. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1606991940830-ISQND1Y69BCIDLWCIV8X/JSCheng_Photo.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Jennifer S. Cheng Poet, Author of MOON: Letters, Maps, Poems, winner of the Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize and House A, winner of the Omnidawn Poetry Book Prize. APAture Literary Arts feature in 2019. Growing up, I did not know that Asian American artists existed; it wasn’t until I moved to San Francisco in adulthood and attended my first Kearny Street Workshop APAture event that I even encountered a formal gathering of Asian American artists. This discovery changed my life. KSW has been a home for me—it’s provided a community where before I assumed I was alone; it’s given me a sense of lineage and ancestry as an artist, where before there was emptiness; it’s fortified my work, supporting and emboldening my endeavors. Before KSW, I didn’t know how much an artist needs a place of safety and belonging in order to summon their own voice, how much we need to be in conversation with others who understand where we come from, what we’ve experienced. The history of KSW is a history of Asian American art and activism—ever evolving and ever essential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1606992530300-V6YTPGTU2YBDBFRY6JA5/051118_Kofi_Q_and_Kin_27.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Kin (Nikki Bonsol) APAture 2018 showcase artist. Baysia featured artist. As an artist, I've met collaborators, friends, and new fans through Kearny Street Workshop. I was just starting out when I applied for the APAture festival—I got the chance to play for the largest and most supportive audiences of my life at that point. I'm so grateful for KSW's ability to connect artists and community members who vibe with and uplift each other. These relationships inspire me, support my livelihood, and encourage me to keep going. Thank you, KSW! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1606992680451-6R836Q1VM7X0DQI0IHN2/39CD502B-CCA1-4BD2-B73A-CDFE91AA7453.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Aria Aber Poet, author of “Hard Damage”(University of Nebraska Press 2019) winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry. KSW Presents featured artist 2020. My experience with KSW was one of a kind––Michelle and Kazumi curated a beautiful reading for the beautiful Monica Sok and I. They put us in conversation about kinship, refuge, solidarity with BLM, and community-building at a time when I needed it the most. KSW offered a sacred alcove within the literary community where I felt safe, respected, and held. As a newcomer to the Bay Area and an international poet myself, I felt so welcomed by the group, and I remember it as my favorite reading of the year. The work KSW does is rigorous, politically radical, and most of all, much needed: there are very few creative organizations focused on Asian American literature, especially on the West Coast, where the population of artists and writers is hungry for representation and a creative outlet. Donations to KSW are vital in order to keep this blessed space running. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1606992377883-2HRLOUEYZ7ULJF4NT58A/_X2A5142.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Malaya Tuyay 2018 APAture Feature Visual Artist . 2019 APAture General Planning Committee. KSW opened doors for me personally as an artist and community member. The spaces KSW creates are such vital ones for Asian American visibility, joy and community. I would have never met the folks I resonate so heavily with now if KSW didn't connect me with folks through events like APAture and help me start my path in the arts in the Bay. Having spaces like this that represent the fullness and diversity of the Asian-American identity is so important for future generations. If I had had access to these events when I was in high school I would have learned how to fully let myself be free in my identity as a mixed queer Asian-American. I would have learned to be more loving of my skin, my culture, our arts and community practices. Thank you KSW for providing this learning and space to all generations now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1608195066982-EN02SX2JHE7U89C6RPT1/44979894414_4ff4dea6f7_k.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Sammay Dancer, Musician, APAture 2016 Featured Artist Being a part of the KSW family helped me to situate myself more clearly in the multidisciplinarity that the API arts community thrives upon. Growing up Pinay in Carson, CA but not having had a sociopolitical grounding to root from made growing into my artistry in San Francisco vital. In 2015, I performed my first ever multimedia dance theatre solo performance at APAture Performing Arts showcase. In 2016, I was invited to perform as the Featured Artist. When I began to explore my voice through songwriting, KSW celebrated this by giving me the honor of closing out the 2018 APAture Music showcase! I would not be where I am today without the love, support, and true faith KSW has shown me throughout the years. KSW is such a necessary space in the greater Bay Area arts ecosystem - held by giants whose shoulders we stand and dance and sing upon! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1608195468158-W0FC1AKMBZEOMXH8GBQZ/29542576_10156250575291350_6588942723036819188_n.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Cristiana Baik Poet, KSW Board Member When I moved to the Bay Area seven years ago,Truong Tran, a wonderful poet and visual artist based in San Francisco (and someone who has been involved with KSW for many years), encouraged me to go to a reading Kearny Street Workshop was hosting. I remember going and feeling so lucky that as an AA/PI writer, an organization like KSW even existed; it felt comforting to be immersed in a physical space packed with other AA/PI artists and writers. I had moved to Oakland from the Twin Cities, where there was such a dearth of resources and community spaces that supported AA/PI writers and artists. A couple of years later, when I was the director of development of a local API-based mental health and wellness agency, I partnered up with KSW on an event that showcased AA/PI poets, academics and artists who had collectively worked together to create a unique tarot card project called, 'Asian American Tarot: A Mental Health Project.' I knew KSW was the right partner, and of course, it turned out to be a really fun, meaningful evening that also really lifted up the mental health issues that are often too taboo to discuss within our different AA/PI communities. During this giving season, KSW deserves our support, and I hope that KSW continues to thrive and expand for another 50 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1608195295329-N2QMBUF74LHAJZHP82AY/45655044762_53c98c55de_k.jpg Blog - Artist Testimonials: #WeGotUs - Gemma Datuin Musician, APAture Showcase Artist 2018, APAture GPC I was a volunteer on the APAture General Planning Committee in 2018 & 2019, and it was without a doubt one of the most fulfilling projects I’ve ever been a part of. From this experience, I didn’t only learn about how to organize an arts festival—at the heart of it, I was able to meet other APA artists and build meaningful connections. I was able to build community. KSW is community to me and I truly believe their work is essential. This organization continues to nurture, inspire, heal and empower me as a Queer Pilipinx artist, and through all of the various KSW roles I’ve been in—as a volunteer, performer, and audience member—I realized how special and sacred these spaces are and that it is up to us to continue to create those spaces for our APA community to thrive. I hope you will consider donating to this extraordinary organization. https://www.kearnystreet.org/blog/2020/12/4/now-playing monthly 0.5 2020-12-05 https://www.kearnystreet.org/blog/2020/11/24/we-got-us monthly 0.5 2020-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1606205173422-V2Q1JV3306REIG9025XB/Webpage+Banner.png Blog -

Earlier this year, I asked my grandmother to draw her house on Smedley Drive by memory, but she kept redrawing the floor and roof, over and over again—omitting details she couldn’t visualize. I’ve reconstructed her memories by hand-splicing 16mm home video footage from a family in Minnesota (purchased on eBay) and personal family home videos, and then scratching the footage using a needle to create an animation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/7bdf1036-a298-4398-8efb-b076886cb8c2/Biofuel_Ginger_Yifan_Chen.png Events Blog - APAture 2025 Film Showcase featuring Kyle Casey Chu - BIOFUEL Directed by: Ginger Yifan Chen 4 min Late at night, two self-absorbed techies encounter a driverless car… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/8e7c62e1-2000-45ef-ad8d-30ba4cf49a79/4.png Events Blog - APAture 2025 Film Showcase featuring Kyle Casey Chu - what remains Directed by: Ginger Yifan Chen 5 mins Over a series of photographs, Georgette Quan tells the story of her family’s shrimping business, from the age of the Chinese Exclusion Act, to its present day status as a state park.

Through intimate recollections—including a childhood memory when their grandmother revealed their parents had planned to abort them because of their gender—the film explores intergenerational trauma, reconciliation, and identity. Incorporating streams of consciousness and a missing interview recording with their mother, the work remains intentionally unfinished, reflecting gender and healing as an ongoing journey. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2025/9/23/ksw-and-green-apple-books-present-elaine-castillo-and-jason-bayani monthly 0.5 2025-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/cd2c67ec-b819-472d-ad75-71e5d9f3afea/1.png Events Blog - KSW and Green Apple Books present Elaine Castillo and Jason Bayani - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1758675233601-5S3QO95DS7OLXRY3Z3DE/IMG_3310.jpeg Events Blog - KSW and Green Apple Books present Elaine Castillo and Jason Bayani - Elaine Castillo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1758675347750-JGZCZ6QYZHJH0RQ38O73/IMG_4683.jpg Events Blog - KSW and Green Apple Books present Elaine Castillo and Jason Bayani - Jason Bayani https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/36d2fb07-5193-42d0-ba19-c2a34df53500/IMG_5584.jpeg Events Blog - KSW and Green Apple Books present Elaine Castillo and Jason Bayani - About Moderation Moderation imagines the future of big tech and its world-building ambitions—but at heart, this bold, inventive novel is a love story, a romance of repressed longings, class conflicts, and unruly desires. Most of all, it shows us that love is world-building, that the most transformative, futuristic, immersive story of all is one that speaks to our ancient hopes: that harm can be met with repair, that grief can be met with succor, and that two people from entirely different universes can save each other—and perhaps the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1c0bc348-dd0c-49cf-8445-3a85e74117bc/EILA_cover.png Events Blog - KSW and Green Apple Books present Elaine Castillo and Jason Bayani - About Everyone I Love, Alive With this collection of poems, Jason Bayani leans into traditions of lyric, song, and prayer to cultivate life while existing within a time of empire and societal collapse. Everyone I Love, Alive wrestles with form to summon both the living and the dead. Bayani’s rich language calls us to experience a connection to cultural heritage and, even during times of oppression, to find the compassion and awareness needed to drive change. These poems show how not only our love and desires—but also our rage and resistance—can be the very things that keep us alive. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/apature2025/visualartsshowcase monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/65f9f22c-aaf7-41ff-8eae-f49e5349ffeb/APATURE_WEBASSETS_BANNER_NONAME-01.jpg Events Blog -

Stacked to the sky, the declaratives become tenuous and subjunctive, leaning under the weight of family, history, and trauma from displacement and a brother's suicide.” —Victoria Chang, author of With My Back to the World and OBIT https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2024/4/24/around-the-community-usaaf-2024-flowers-and-fog monthly 0.5 2024-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/80543f5b-8685-41e1-a44c-2ec945f88183/3.png Events Blog - Around the Community | USAAF 2024 | 花和霧 flowers and fog - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2024/4/30/around-the-community-discovering-asian-american-radicals-through-poetry-3pf6d monthly 0.5 2024-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/edf7fd17-1709-475b-a365-73d849e77602/FY24+Spring+KQED+Live+%E2%80%94+How+We+Thrive.png Events Blog - Around the Community: How We Thrive: Asian American Healing, Co-Presented by CAAMFest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/manarharb-ay7yt-9ccg9 monthly 0.5 2024-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/d1f14576-d9d6-4289-8057-a0ccf4e0ec1e/Pacific-Voices_1920x1080.jpg Events Blog - Around the Community: Pacific Voices - CAAM Fest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2024/5/7/around-the-community-jason-bayanis-locus-of-control-in-san-joser monthly 0.5 2024-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1715116181402-WFCA19WKRWCTH1WY0B8U/800A5D7B-8AD3-4B23-81FD-EF60D87AA6C0.jpeg Events Blog - Around the Community: Jason Bayani's Locus of Control in San Joser - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2024/4/24/around-the-community-born-a-problem monthly 0.5 2024-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/dde15fc5-f4d0-463b-b1d1-d390773b01a5/1.png Events Blog - Around the Community | Born a Problem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2024/4/24/around-the-community-usaaf-2024-festival-kick-off monthly 0.5 2024-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/bcb9c60f-a6c8-42eb-9090-858fe71479d9/2.png Events Blog - Around the Community | USAAF 2024 Festival Kick-Off - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2023/10/31/kswpresents-23 monthly 0.5 2024-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/a9c1eaeb-a9d4-4e42-ac03-f21fa938f7d9/kswpresents_banner.png Events Blog - KSW Presents Nathalie Khankan and Tariq Luthun - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/f23d7c60-2924-4560-8f6d-6e11cd178e73/Nathalie_Khankan_bio_BW+-+nathalie+khankan.jpg Events Blog - KSW Presents Nathalie Khankan and Tariq Luthun - Nathalie Khankan Nathalie Khankan is the author of Quiet Orient Riot (Omnidawn), recipient of the 2021 California Book Award in Poetry.

Against this backdrop, family and friends offer sustenance and comfort against despair, even as she accepts that she “can save no one.” As for the natural world, it is, at present, precariously “here,” however often “ice on a lake breaks from the weight where a man stands.” —Tyrone Williams https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2024/1/4/aavh-special-edition-listening-party monthly 0.5 2024-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/8b654a2a-a83e-4aba-86a0-897723d1adb5/Asian+American+Virtual+Histories.png Events Blog - AAVH Special Edition Listening Party - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2023/11/22/call-for-proposals-usaaf-2024 monthly 0.5 2023-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/2afcc3d2-da7f-425d-b6a9-187aaea46bb5/yello-flier-3.jpg Events Blog - CALL FOR PROPOSALS: USAAF 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2023/11/22/around-the-community-artogethers-artist-mentorship-hub monthly 0.5 2023-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/80fe025b-56c8-4577-8999-c44f17c4c4bb/Facilitators+1.png Events Blog - Around the Community: ARTogether's Artist Mentorship Hub - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2023/11/22/save-the-date-ksws-reset-winter-holiday-party-128-7-10pm monthly 0.5 2023-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/09063060-9ff4-4d06-8f43-a54b2db8b0e2/image8.png Events Blog - KSW's "Reset" Winter Holiday Party 12/8 7-10pm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2023/11/22/around-the-community-wawog-teach-in monthly 0.5 2023-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/71e1bedb-3fa4-47ad-af8b-cee1c8edeebf/pal_flyer_final.jpg Events Blog - Around the Community: WAWOG Teach-in - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/events-blog/2023/11/22/around-the-community-yello-you-there-an-open-mic-tribute-to-angelo-pamintuan monthly 0.5 2023-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/92ea06f1-73f3-4c8e-a7b6-4b7cd05fa031/Angelo-apicc-headshot.png Events Blog - Around the Community: "Yello, You There?"

Her objects, installations, videos, and writing combine to create mythological worlds and deeply intimate internal spaces. She construct new narratives where she explores forms drawn from her personal and ancestral spiritual/religious history. The objects and text shape each other, interdependent forms that are mutually connected in an unending cycle. Language creates distance from the body, and direct touching of the object brings viewers into their bodies.

The two have been estranged for more than a decade, and the reunion is fraught with past grievances bubbling to the surface. After a fateful ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty, Ethan's mother reluctantly reveals details of her shattered childhood-her family's imprisonment in a concentration camp in Arkansas in World War II, followed by a deportation to Japan, where she witnesses the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Ethan's past is also revealed-painful memories of a forsaken career in music and a delayed coming out at the height of the AIDS epidemic. Eventually, both mother and son come to understand the complex and subtle ways that their lives are intertwined, with the past reverberating powerfully through the present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/e4d68e35-bd99-4fad-94be-d33860087331/mess-line-noon-manzanar-relocation-center-california-photograph-by-ansel-adams.jpeg Events Blog - Two Nails, One Love Virtual Reading &amp; Discussion - Make it stand out Mess line at noon Manzanar Relocation Center.

ABOUT MOTHER TONGUE APOLOGIZE “Preeti’s words are embedded with desperate measures to deal with the raw pain of losing her mother to cancer at one level and to cope with her mum’s patriarchal suppression at home, at another. ‘All letters are odes to spaces mother left behind. Addressed to father never to be sent’, she writes. The fiercely confessional poems expose complex emotions when the poet sees in her mother ‘s dry eyes, ‘a butterfly crushed by a bootheel’. The poems are deeply moving, baring a poignant bond between mother and daughter caught in a universe of separation. The imagery is taut and powerful and quite simply soul stirring.” — Vinita Agrawal, author of The Longest Pleasure & The Silk Of Hunger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1628666487201-516K7DI7IW3N3M1H300W/3.jpg Events Blog - KSW Presents Preeti Vangani with Jenny Qi - JENNY QI is the author of the debut poetry collection Focal Point, winner of the 2020 Steel Toe Books Poetry Award.

She is working on more essays and poems and translating her late mother’s memoirs of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and immigration to the U.S. ABOUT FOCAL POINT “Focal Point by Jenny Qi is a book of crossings. Here, a mother crosses over from the living to the dead, the daughter crosses over to having a mother and then no longer having a mother, all the while studying science, an organized system of knowledge. There is nothing organized or clear about dying, but the end. “I never believed in anything. / Now I believe in everything, / all the rituals of all the faiths,” writes the speaker. Qi grapples with disorder and order at once, endings and beginnings, mapping out a place where both co-exist because they have to. Focal Point is a beautiful and reflective book that inhabits the necessary liminal space of betweenness.” — Victoria Chang, author of Obit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1630091643788-QIULLBO6MSYSTFT6YUW6/240676014_10159760855466802_4446965087543148086_n.jpeg Events Blog - KSW Presents Preeti Vangani with Jenny Qi Lucie Pereira (she/her) is a multiracial writer and educator.

In their work, the seven featured California artists addressed themes of historical memory, cross-racial solidarities, feminist and LGBTQ organizing, anti-caste struggles, colorism, Islamophobia, and the U.S. war machine. Many of the pieces built on South Asian art styles, reflecting our communities’ hybrid and immigrant identities. Living in an age of unrestrained neoliberalism, post-racial delusions, climate change misinformation, and incessant surveillance and fear-mongering, it is of paramount importance to be clear — a century on, the struggle continues.

ABOUT MOTHER TONGUE APOLOGIZE “Preeti’s words are embedded with desperate measures to deal with the raw pain of losing her mother to cancer at one level and to cope with her mum’s patriarchal suppression at home, at another. ‘All letters are odes to spaces mother left behind. Addressed to father never to be sent’, she writes. The fiercely confessional poems expose complex emotions when the poet sees in her mother ‘s dry eyes, ‘a butterfly crushed by a bootheel’. The poems are deeply moving, baring a poignant bond between mother and daughter caught in a universe of separation. The imagery is taut and powerful and quite simply soul stirring.” — Vinita Agrawal, author of The Longest Pleasure & The Silk Of Hunger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1628666428115-S9ZS12YRPKU6YGNIHILU/image-asset.jpeg KSW Presents August 2021 - PREETI VANGANI is the author of Mother Tongue Apologize, winner of the RL India Poetry Prize.

She is working on more essays and poems and translating her late mother’s memoirs of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and immigration to the U.S. ABOUT FOCAL POINT “Focal Point by Jenny Qi is a book of crossings. Here, a mother crosses over from the living to the dead, the daughter crosses over to having a mother and then no longer having a mother, all the while studying science, an organized system of knowledge. There is nothing organized or clear about dying, but the end. “I never believed in anything. / Now I believe in everything, / all the rituals of all the faiths,” writes the speaker. Qi grapples with disorder and order at once, endings and beginnings, mapping out a place where both co-exist because they have to. Focal Point is a beautiful and reflective book that inhabits the necessary liminal space of betweenness.” — Victoria Chang, author of Obit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1630091643788-QIULLBO6MSYSTFT6YUW6/240676014_10159760855466802_4446965087543148086_n.jpeg KSW Presents August 2021 Lucie Pereira (she/her) is a multiracial writer and educator.

As someone who has benefited immensely from KSW support as a performer, writer, workshop leader, and more, I find my artistic career and political life deeply altered by the values that shape this space, how each participation asks me to think more deeply about how my art can make the world better. I am inspired to make this commitment everyday when I consider the example that KSW has set.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1605781263185-UDVHV1M20ABY46D8G2MY/46266439891_78dcdcd4f6_k.jpg Disabled Pages - Malaya Tuyay, 2018 APAture Feature Visual Artist “KSW opened doors for me personally as an artist and community member. The spaces KSW creates are such vital ones for Asian American visibility, joy and community. I would have never met the folks I resonate so heavily with now if KSW didn't connect me with folks through events like APAture and help me start my path in the arts in the Bay. Having spaces like this that represent the fullness and diversity of the Asian-American identity is so important for future generations. If I had had access to these events when I was in high school I would have learned how to fully let myself be free in my identity as a mixed queer Asian-American. I would have learned to be more loving of my skin, my culture, our arts and community practices. Thank you KSW for providing this learning and space to all generations now.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1605781351717-HIX13QRG2ODM5GK6C5Q1/48955009853_3b81eec443_6k.jpg Disabled Pages - Jennifer S. Cheng, 2019 APAture Feature Literary Artist Growing up, I did not know that Asian American artists existed; it wasn’t until I moved to San Francisco in adulthood and attended my first Kearny Street Workshop APAture event that I even encountered a formal gathering of Asian American artists. This discovery changed my life. KSW has been a home for me—it’s provided a community where before I assumed I was alone; it’s given me a sense of lineage and ancestry as an artist, where before there was emptiness; it’s fortified my work, supporting and emboldening my endeavors. Before KSW, I didn’t know how much an artist needs a place of safety and belonging in order to summon their own voice, how much we need to be in conversation with others who understand where we come from, what we’ve experienced. The history of KSW is a history of Asian American art and activism—ever evolving and ever essential.

Earlier this year, I asked my grandmother to draw her house on Smedley Drive by memory, but she kept redrawing the floor and roof, over and over again—omitting details she couldn’t visualize. I’ve reconstructed her memories by hand-splicing 16mm home video footage from a family in Minnesota (purchased on eBay) and personal family home videos, and then scratching the footage using a needle to create an animation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/7bdf1036-a298-4398-8efb-b076886cb8c2/Biofuel_Ginger_Yifan_Chen.png New Gallery - BIOFUEL Directed by: Ginger Yifan Chen 4 min Late at night, two self-absorbed techies encounter a driverless car… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/8e7c62e1-2000-45ef-ad8d-30ba4cf49a79/4.png New Gallery - what remains Directed by: Ginger Yifan Chen 5 mins Over a series of photographs, Georgette Quan tells the story of her family’s shrimping business, from the age of the Chinese Exclusion Act, to its present day status as a state park.

Through intimate recollections—including a childhood memory when their grandmother revealed their parents had planned to abort them because of their gender—the film explores intergenerational trauma, reconciliation, and identity. Incorporating streams of consciousness and a missing interview recording with their mother, the work remains intentionally unfinished, reflecting gender and healing as an ongoing journey. https://www.kearnystreet.org/new-gallery-3 daily 0.75 2026-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1769293222411-LVIA4MKXENYHYF8B9O1Q/ejs.jpg IWL 2025 Cohort - Eden Julia Sugay Eden Julia Sugay is a writer and editor based in Oakland.

I’m hungry for that now. I use music to experiment with and inhabit my complexity—to reclaim the hidden parts of my identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1536825648828-11THAQZMOHOLSSOCW2FW/sammay_digi_blog-10.jpg APAture 2018 Artists - SAMMAY SAMMAY is an interdisciplinary artist of Bikol, Kapampangan, and Ilokano descent experimenting with movement, performance art, music, and multimedia to find the most righteous path to healing self, lineage, and community.

In their work, the seven featured California artists addressed themes of historical memory, cross-racial solidarities, feminist and LGBTQ organizing, anti-caste struggles, colorism, Islamophobia, and the U.S. war machine.

The spaces KSW creates are such vital ones for Asian American visibility, joy and community. I would have never met the folks I resonate so heavily with now if KSW didn't connect me with folks through events like APAture and help me start my path in the arts in the Bay. Having spaces like this that represent the fullness and diversity of the Asian-American identity is so important for future generations. If I had had access to these events when I was in high school I would have learned how to fully let myself be free in my identity as a mixed queer Asian-American. I would have learned to be more loving of my skin, my culture, our arts and community practices. Thank you KSW for providing this learning and space to all generations now.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1649205856647-68LO7GJFHM2LTTK0KKFA/MurielLeung_Testimonial.png KSW50 - Muriel Leung, Poet, Author “There is no other space like Kearny Street Workshop, an organization that not only cares about the representational value of Asian Americans in the arts but increasingly determined to forge important socially and politically rich connections with other communities aimed at transforming systems of injustices. As someone who has benefited immensely from KSW support as a performer, writer, workshop leader, and more, I find my artistic career and political life deeply altered by the values that shape this space, how each participation asks me to think more deeply about how my art can make the world better. I am inspired to make this commitment everyday when I consider the example that KSW has set.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1649205856806-EEKCZS2LXQHVUHENUAYN/KIN_Testimonial.png KSW50 - KIN, APAture Artist “As an artist, I've met collaborators, friends, and new fans through Kearny Street Workshop. I was just starting out when I applied for the APAture festival—I got the chance to play for the largest and most supportive audiences of my life at that point.

Solis Tanza J. Solis is a multidisciplinary artist who specializes in emotional resonance. Raised in a military family, he remedies his lack of roots with lucid curiosity and an urgent desire to create tangible evidence of his inner world — a perspective necessarily informed by his experience as a queer, transgender man of the Filipino diaspora. He deals largely in figurative painting while sustaining an exploratory practice that includes comics, writing, and fiber arts. His latest fascination lies in the practice of material necromancy, the transformation of plastic waste into mixed-media sculptures that directly address the oppressive legacy of colonial industry on our natural world and emotional landscapes. Tanza received his B.A. in Art Practice at Stanford University, matriculating with Interdisciplinary Honors in the Arts. His work has been showcased across the West Coast, including Brea Gallery’s Made in California and Kearny Street Workshop’s emerging artist showcase, APAture. He currently resides in the SF Bay Area and works at California College of the Arts. https://www.kearnystreet.org/apature-2025 daily 0.75 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/66d9714a-5f3f-4220-b583-9aa0874dbfeb/APAture_WebBanner-02.jpg APAture 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kearnystreet.org/apature-2025-artist-bios daily 0.75 2025-10-30 https://www.kearnystreet.org/100nights-tran daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/86129602-e8c6-4776-aeca-8f59770a5cba/Your+paragraph+text.png 100 Nights of the Pandemic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1766017106613-K1HLICTUCRUU94QBA7HA/IMG_0992.jpeg 100 Nights of the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1766017097387-RPSMS9ZD8KDO9L8H9L0O/IMG_1050.jpeg 100 Nights of the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1766017078343-JYJTOSTN0XQ1KZ7HFVTE/IMG_7515.jpeg 100 Nights of the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1766017074229-85JGP9M350RUBOLOIZL4/IMG_7510.jpeg 100 Nights of the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d018601b10e3bf4422803b/1668674084895-8GHRG7BZGJPLXEAAAOMI/Truong+Tran+-+Artist+Photo.png 100 Nights of the Pandemic - Truong Tran Poet and visual artist Truong Tran was born in Saigon, Vietnam.
