Description

Chopsticks Alley Art created a convening place for Asian Americas to meet in a natural park setting to eat, connect, and make art together. Chopsticks Alley Art created Asian American Healing Collective as a convening place for us to meet in a natural park setting to address mental health challenges we are facing in times of Covid and systemic racism towards Asian Americans. We provide an intimate space for us connect, share, and reclaim our powers through food, storytelling, meditation, and artmaking. Our goal is to continue providing AAh convening every quarter to stay connected with our Asian community and continue building community to better support each other.​ NOTE: Our goal with this gathering is to provide a safe space for those who have an Asian cultural background or identify as Asians only so that they may comfortably connect with others of similar backgrounds and discuss issues that are faced within the Asian community. For this reason, we ask those who do not identify as Asian or Pacific Islander to opt out of this gathering, adn join us for one of th emany other events and workshops we host on a regular basis!
