Lunar New Year X Black History Month 2024: Celebrating Asian & African-American Solidarity
On February 3rd, the Malonga Arts Residents Association (MARA) for the Oakland Asian Cultural Center celebrated their second annual Lunar New Year x Black History Month Community Celebration. The event focuses on Asian and African-American solidarity through art, music, and dance. There is a long history of Black and Asian solidarity within the United States and it’s a great reminder how our history and cultures overlap.
Although the event passed, you can still check out the featured artists and their work.
This event is part of OACC’s ongoing Open E.A.R.S. for Change initiative started in 2020 to build stronger relationships among local APIA and Black communities.
This event is funded by The City of Oakland Cultural Affairs Grant and the CA State Grant for Stop the Hate (CDSS), and sponsored by Ava Community Energy, Alameda County Behavioral Health/Health Equity Division, and Council President and District 2 Council Member, Nikki Fortunato Bas.
