We feel proud to be an organization supporting not only Asian American writers but also Asian diasporic writers around the world. Our hope is to build a home for Asian American stories in every corner of the world through the vital work of our Regional Groups. To close out our Kundiman Forever: Near and Far campaign, we’re spotlighting our International Regional Group.
Kundiman’s International Regional Group stretches across four continents and includes writers from 14 countries. In 2023, they have hosted a virtual workshop titled Beyond Ekphrasis: On Photography and Poetry, exploring the possibilities for exchange between poetry and photographs, and a virtual event titled Writing From and Beyond the Map, exploring the invisible forces that affect how we live in cities and are represented in communities. Workshops like these are part of the essential work that our International Regional Group does to have an impact on the Asian American and Asian diasporic literary community across the world.
We’re grateful to everyone who has contributed in helping us reach 77% of our goal. Before our campaign closes out tomorrow, consider contributing a recurring donation to be part of creating a space for Asian American writers to share their work and build community beyond borders and oceans.
We look forward to continuing the transformative work that will ensure that the larger Asian diasporic community can tell their stories worldwide, and we thank you for being part of this work with us.
