Step outside to enjoy performances from a mixed bag of Asian American music makers around the Bay Area and beyond, courtesy of TRAKTIVIST.
Immerse yourself in the Bay Area’s Asian American community with an evening of music, storytelling, and fashion. Join us for our first Culture Clash event, where we celebrate the multidimensional cultures that make up the cultural fabric of our beloved city by the Bay.
Throughout the night you’ll have the opportunity to watch performances from a cadre of talented Asian American music makers, including rapper-by-night-scientist-by-day Ruby Ibarra; pop, R&B, hip hop and electronic music artist Ashley Mehta; rapper and multiinstrumentalist Rocky G; plus sets from DJ Presto, DJ Toy, and The Les.
Discover the rich histories, invaluable wisdom, and inspiring style captured in Chinatown Pretty, a storytelling project that documents senior citizens’ street style in Chinatowns across North America. Founders Andria Lo and Valerie Luu will participate in a panel discussion moderated by Masashi Niwano, festival and exhibitions director at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM), with special guest and Chinatown Pretty fixture Dorothy Quock. Together, the group will discuss the inspiration behind the project, and the unique opportunity it provides to celebrate unique style, convey cultural values, reveal resilience, and share seniors’ immigration stories.
Awaken a deeper appreciation for Asian American representation in the Bay Area music scene with a panel discussion featuring local changemakers who are bringing Asian American music to the fore. You’ll hear from Richie Menchavez, founder of TRAKTIVIST, an online hub for discovering music made by Asian North Americans; music industry professional and global Asian music advocate Christina Luna, founder of Asian American Music Conference; and Allyson Toy, co-founder and co-host of LIONS SHARE, a creative community and weekly music podcast featuring Asian artists on the rise.
