Diverse
We celebrate the diversity of our communities and neighborhoods. We work in solidarity with communities of color to create more just and equitable places. Our cultural values and ways of knowing are not universal across all AAPI communities, and thus, our creative placemaking work looks very different in a Southeast Asian refugee community or the Native Hawaiian community or long-standing Japanese American and Chinese American neighborhoods. We celebrate our distinct but connected communities.

“Here [at Bhanchha Ghar], I hold meetings for my societies… I invite them here, we eat here, we sit here, we discuss here…People who don’t have jobs, I get them a job. People who don’t have a place to sleep, I find them a place.”
