The Center for Immigrant Resources and Community Arts – Pintig, or CIRCA-Pintig (CP) for short, is a Chicago-based organization whose mission is to engage community members in addressing critical needs of immigrant communities in creative, participatory and empowering ways. For its 2021-2011 programming, CP embarks on a project called "Racial Healing and the Subversion of Hate." It is an educational and advocacy project using the collaborative potential of theater in addressing racial prejudice and anti-Asian hate. The urgency of the recent attacks on Asian Americans informs the project's aim to engage in community conversations and solidarity building through educational workshops and performances.
