Celebration of Asian Pacific American Womxn

CAPAW was conceived as a space where praxis and theory, community members and students, can meet and converse.

This banquet event is meant to be the impetus that brings all people, regardless of gender, class, sexuality, ability, and ethnicity, together in a community to not only acknowledge the contributions that Asian American womyn have made, but to also educate, critically analyze societal oppressions, and in the process, empower others so that this event moves beyond just one night to question their perspectives and teach others.

We would like to celebrate the strength, comfort, and warmth radiating from the strong beautiful womyn in our lives. We want to recognize and appreciate all the figures that make sure we are still breathing and smiling today - whether it is a mother figure, sister, best friend, classmate or that one person that held the door for you. We grow up in the arms of many womyn in our lives, yet we get so caught up in life’s tangles that we forget to acknowledge them. Please join us for an evening of speakers, performances, and dinner to celebrate being in their arms and bringing them into our arms.
