<\/a><\/p>\nDrop by for the special launch for AMPLIFY(HER), the first-ever zine by and for undocumented women from the Asian diaspora. Grab your copy and support undocumented Asian writers alongside event hosts Sonia Gui\u00f1ansaca of CultureStrike and Kay Ulanday Barrett, author of When The Chant Comes (Topside Press 2016). Come hear from the editors Manolova \u201cManny\u201d Yusuf, who leads police accountability and immigrant rights work at DRUM and Israt Audry, a core member of RAISE: Revolutionizing Asian American Immigrant Stories on the East Coast–as well as readings by contributors Michelle Chen and Soonaenae.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll also screen a short film by immigrant filmmaker Laura X Moya, an experimental documentary filmmaker that explores the notion of solitude, immigration, desire, and estranged family dynamics in her\/their work. We\u2019ll also have a special dance performance by Deesha Narichania, who has studied classical and contemporary Kathak, and works full-time as a Domestic Violence Coordinator and Trauma-Focused Therapist. We\u2019ll close out the night by jamming out to a special set by DJ Ushka, an AAWW Open City Fellow and Communications Manager at the New York Immigration Coalition.<\/p>\n
