Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Artists Panel

Art and media have always been people’s way of escaping the harsh reality of life. However, some artists choose to use their art and platforms to advocate and inspire during troubling times. Come join us as we hold an intimate conversation with local Asian Pacific Islander Desi American creators about the meaning of their art, how their identity plays a role in their creations and what an audience should be aware of in their artforms. We will welcome poet Ina Cariño and podcasters/ creators Kayva Kumar and Pooja Lenin to discuss some pressing questions about creators from a creator’s perspective.
