Sustainable Ways to Preserve Legacies | AAPI Month Featured Panel Talk

In light of AAPI Heritage Month, we invite you to join a featured panel on AAPI culture and sustainable ways to preserve legacies

***

On Sunday, May 22, 2022, join Kepler Mission Design & Textile Arts Center for an in-person event featuring a panel discussion on Sustainable Ways to Preserve Legacies. Artists, community organizers, and brand owners are joining this conversation, sharing their knowledge and different roles in preserving culture by creating more opportunities and scenarios for the traditional arts and crafts to attract and serve the modern-day audience.

The event will start with a panel discussion from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT followed by an indigo dyeing workshop from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT. A casual cultural reception with small bites will continue after the event. We want to cultivate a community with whom we can share our love of Asian culture, design, and craftsmanship.
