We warmly invite you to an AAPI adoptee-only virtual social, taking place on Thursday, March 24th from 6 to 8 pm through Pao Arts Center in Boston Chinatown. This event is co-hosted by artist and curator Leslie Anne Condon and writer Amy Pollard.

New Narratives is a multifaceted project developed in collaboration with Pao Arts Center. Curated by guest curator Leslie Anne Condon, this exhibition features artworks by numerous Boston-area Asian artists who are exploring aspects of their identity through their art, as well as Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) culture and narratives informed by personal experience. Collectively, the exhibition offers a partial glimpse into the many interrelated and tangled issues that the AAPI community navigates daily as part of our lived realities. It also reflects, in some part, the complex and ever-growing iterations of AAPI identity that continue to emerge from every corner of the Boston area.

The private 18+ adoptee event will include an artist and open mic showcase, and opportunities to socialize with other New England-area adoptees. Registration is required and attendees can sign up through the form in our bio. (Please note that this event is only for AAPI adoptees 18 years or older)

Please remember that this is an ADOPTEE ONLY space. We ask that all attendees make mutually-respectful space for the entire spectrum of adoptee experiences. We will be creating breakout rooms so that people who wish to celebrate their experience and those who wish to process their experience have equal space. 

Please reach out to Leslie Condon, Pao Arts Center Program Manager and fellow adoptee via email or phone: Leslie.Condon@bcnc.net or 617-635-5129 x 2017.
