On October 3, 2020, AAWAA artists and community joined together for an afternoon of participatory arts activism. With a pivotal US election only weeks away and many reports of attempted voter suppression nationwide, AAWAA hosted a call to action to reclaim the vote! It was a lovely program of powerful poetry by Greer Nakadegawa-Lee, Jenny Qi, and Dena Rod, curated by Lauren Ito (Political Inheritance), and some collective art-making by about 25 artists and community members. It was wonderful to see everyone’s faces and catch the different designs everyone was creating. Since the program, over 150 postcards have been mailed to participants all over the US reminding citizens to get out there and vote.
