New Narratives: Korean American Art and Activism
New Narratives: Korean American Art and Activism is a virtual benefit for NAKASEC and Adoptees for Justice in partnership with Korean American Artist Collective.
Over the past 30 years, NAKASEC has advanced the immigrant justice movement alongside diverse partners. This year for the second annual New Narratives virtual fundraiser, NAKASEC will uplift artists whose work stirs emotion, inspires discourse, and raises awareness of important social issues that concern Asian Americans. The theme is Korean American Art and Activism, and NAKASEC is proud to partner with Korean American Artist Collective to present a panel discussion with Hannah Bae, Coleen Baik, Alex Myung, Aram Han Sifuentes, and Eunsoo Jeong.
Purchase your tickets today and join on May 16—not only in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, but also NAKASEC’s 30th anniversary! If you’re interested in attending the event but unable to purchase a ticket at this time, follow the link under More Information to get on the list for inclusive admission tickets, made possible by the generosity of community members helping to make this event more accessible for those not in a position to make a financial contribution.
