Adriana Arvizo
Adriana will conduct intergenerational writing, poetry and recitation workshops for immigrant women and teenage daughters of immigrant women. Participants will learn to compose and write poetry related to immigrant women’s issues, specifically sexism and oppression. The goal of Adriana’s project is to foster a love of literature, visual art, poetry, and writing while developing a social conscience. There will be a public presentation of the poems and a book that collects the work of the women. Copies of the poems will be distributed during a final public event.

Overview
Project description 2 Created in 1993 in response to community concerns about rising racial tension, Asian Arts Initiative serves a diverse constituency of both youth and adults — Asian immigrants, Asian Americans born in the U.S., and non-Asians — who come together to give voice to experiences of cultural identity and heritage and claim the power of art-making as a vital form of expression and catalyst for social change.
