Kundiman - Together We Are New York: Asian Americans Remember and Re-Vision 9/11
Together We Are New York helps to ensure Asian American community voices are presented and shared as a vital part of the fabric of city memory and the nation’s journey forward. To remember the diverse communities affected by the events of 9/11, Kundiman, an organization dedicated to the creation and promotion of Asian American poetry, engaged nine poets to interview Asian Americans on their experiences that day and in the decade since. The material will be crafted into poems for a series of public performances and dialogues, uniquely combining historical documentation with artistic production and public engagement. The program opened with a performance on September 13 at Fordham University, with additional performances and events to be scheduled.
Featured poets: Hossannah Asuncion, Tamiko Beyer, Marlon Esguerra, April Heck, Eugenia Leigh, Bushra Rehman, Zohra Saed, Purvi Shah, R.A. Villanueva
