Modern Portraits: An Evening of AAPI Short Films and Poetry

In collaboration with Kundiman Midwest, we’re celebrating the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month with an evening of cinema and poetry! Join us for Modern Portraits: An Evening of AAPI Short Films and Poetry, the official kickoff event for The 29th Annual Asian American Showcase.

Come early to enjoy light Vietnamese bites for purchase by and connect with Chicago film lovers, writers, and creatives during our community mixer, then stay to experience a celebration of AAPI voices through film and poetry. After a screening of literary-inspired documentaries and experimental animation, enjoy a live reading by poets Lisa Low, Meg Kim, Dawn Angelicca Barcelona, and Darshita Jain.
