What does it mean to make art "by us, for us?” Who is "US"? 

The workshop will center on what collaboration between SA artists and non-South Asian artists of color looks like. What are the walls that stand in the way? How can we lift each other up?  

We'll also discuss the walls that exist within South Asian Diaspora itself. How do barriers like caste, class, religion, gender and race produce the artistic oppression of folks in the diaspora? In order to make art that is "by us, for us", how can "South Asia" reflect all of "US"?

In partnership with BUFU and Mayday Space. Part of BUFU: Build with Us Workshop Series.
