We’re excited to share a new offering from NYCAAMH Executive Member, Hân Nguyễn, LMSW. She will be facilitating a monthly lab as part of the Asian American Justice + Innovative Lab community leadership development program. Join us on a community zine lab project on 3rd Thursdays of each month starting February 15th from 9pm-10:30pm EST / 6pm-7:30pm PST.
Embark on a creative journey with our 'Chia Sẻ' Community Zine Lab, exploring Asian diaspora stories through food. 'Chia Sẻ,' meaning 'sharing' in Vietnamese, embodies our commitment to reflecting on experiences around food, connecting with ancestral roots, and exploring the emotions of grief, displacement, and joy within our Asian diaspora. Join us as we draw inspiration from the history of zine-making in Asian American activism. In each session, engage in a vibrant mix of storytelling, reflection, and creative expression - a powerful way to process the complexities of our shared experiences. Let’s weave our collective narrative into a community zine, 'Chia Sẻ,' that shares the diverse and resonant stories of the Asian diaspora.
This is an open lab to the community starting February and ends in June. Folks are welcome to join any of the 5-part sessions. We welcome anyone who identifies as part of the Asian Diaspora. Please register below.
