Voices Rising: Korean Diaspora Voices in Performance lands in NYC this Fall!
Watch this short video below to learn more about our award-winning Voices Rising series! Our New York-Emmy nominated Voices Rising series shines a spotlight on AAPI culture, explores issues at the heart of the Asian American experience, and celebrates the contributions of the Asian diaspora to American society. Our flagship series returns this fall for Voices Rising: Korean Diaspora Voices in Performance, produced as a collaboration between ALL ARTS, the Serica Initiative, and Park Avenue...
"Congratulations on such a triumphant gala event! I was deeply moved by the program and inspired by the important work that you and the Serica Initiative are doing for the AAPI community."
"As a fourth-generation Japanese American, hearing Kathy Hirata Chin speak about her work to preserve and share our communityās stories was especially meaningful. Iām so appreciative of the Serica Initiativeās efforts to elevate Asian American voices."
āI was so inspired by Anla's opening speech and the remarks from all the honorees, especially Sheryl, Loida, and Anita. Empowering women and girls is a passion of mine as well, and Iām so discouraged by the persistent gender gap. The Serica Initiative is doing great work!
"Thanks to Serica for making AAPI stories and voices heard. It's powerful, but it takes being brave and doing the work!ā
"In the current environment, we need more organizations like Serica to unite Asians against discrimination and spread the truth against fake news and false allegations. I really admire your energy and dedication."
