1000 YEARS OF CULTURE FESTIVAL​
OUR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
Under this theme, The Asian Articles seeks to examine the rich history of pan-Asian culture, how previous generations have spread this culture, and how the present generation (Gen Z pan-Asians and millennials) are reviving their cultures in waves, adding their own modern twist to age-old traditions.
MISSION & VISION
This culture festival is a celebration of the vibrant cultures of the entire pan-Asian community, as well as an overall celebration to welcome in the spring (at least for the Northern Hemisphere). The festival activities and programming are divided into three sub-themes:
​
PAST
We will be examining our cultures & histories and celebrating them. We’ll be honoring traditions that have been cultivated for hundreds of years and passed down through generations.
PRESENT
We will be looking at how current generations stay true to and honor their Asian heritage, in addition to how they are adapting culture to fit modern/pop culture in various parts of the world.
FUTURE
We will be exploring the future of the preservation of Asian culture, in addition to what representation of Asian culture might look like in the coming years.
What kind of culture festival will this be?
​
Programming will include the following: interviews, panels with youth organizations, performers, workshops, and short film screenings.
