This year, 2022, marks the 30th anniversary of the Asian American Renaissance, which was a community based Asian American arts organization which began in 1992 and was an anchor in the Asian community here in Minnesota for the decade that followed. The Asian American Renaissance gave birth to many of the Asian arts and cultural organizations we know today such as Theater Mu, Mizna Arts, Pangea World Theater, Pan-Asian Voices for Equity and more!
David Mura reflects on how the Asian American Renaissance came about back in the early 1990's, why its founding was such a significant turning point in our history as Asian Minnesotans and how its legacy might inspire the next generation of creatives, organizers and dreamers.
