Asian Glow is a performance series for Asian American creative artists in Boston, which seeks to raise visibility for Asian Americans, extinguish tokenism, and explore individual stories involving the twin myths of the model minority and perpetual foreigner. Asian Glow also seeks to give the artists a platform to perform in a genre or style that does not necessarily link to their national or ancestral identity and provide local role models for the Asian community.
This project is made possible by a Live Arts Boston grant from the Boston Foundation.
