    National Cambodian Heritage Museum & Killing Fields Memorial

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $4,675

    In 2017, Dr. Ada Cheng, the storytelling artist, and the National Cambodian Heritage Museum & Killing Fields Memorial started our collaboration and introduced storytelling to the museum. During the past 4 years, we have incorporated storytelling into various program activities, including summer camp, storytelling workshops, storytelling events, storytelling circles. Our goal for this coming year is to formalize the institutionalization of storytelling at the museum. We are aiming to develop a model for the institutionalization of storytelling, which can be applied to and implemented by other museums and cultural/heritage organizations.

    Invisible to Invincible

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $4,080

    In the coming months, i2i will focus on building out a series of Transformative Justice workshops. This programming aims to focus on and advance: 1) community education rooted in understanding systemic harms of anti-asian violence and policing in relation to our community of LGBTQ+ Asian Americans and 2) develop and support conflict resolution and abolition practices in the i2i community. With the understanding that many Asian American communities are not given the space to study and understand our histories and racialization, we know these two pieces will help us move towards developing community spaces and practices that start to build a freer world.
