Don't

Đừng: Community & Creativity is a public event designed to celebrate the Asian American community through various cultural activities. It also serves as the official premiere and Q&A session of the thought-provoking short film “DON’T: Đừng giỡn mặt với Bà” (Don’t f* with grandma). Scheduled to take place in June 2024, at the cusp of AAPI Heritage Month and Pride Month, this event aspires to unify and celebrate diverse talents and cultures within the Asian American community.

This event is more than just a film premiere. It is a platform for Asian small businesses and creatives across various mediums—art, music, crafts, fashion, and more—to showcase their cultural heritage alongside contemporary innovations. The fusion of these diverse expressions not only celebrates the vibrancy of Asian cultures but also underscores the unity and support prevalent within our community.
