Night of Asian Pacific American Poetry on March 20
Sulu DC is an underground, grassroots network for Asian American and/or Pacific Islander American (AAPI) artists, which provides a home for AAPI focused spoken word and multidisciplinary artists in Washington, D.C. On the third Saturday of every month, we host a performance showcase of emerging and established AAPI artists in music, spoken word, video, and multidisciplinary performances.

Sulu DC fosters relationships with local and national activist organizations, nurtures the artistic development of emerging AAPI artists and builds inter-generational alliances with cities across North America in preparation for the biennial APIA Spoken Word & Poetry Summit (next summit: 2011 in Twin Cities, MN. Visit www.apiaword.com for more information).

Join us for another night of Asian Pacific American poetry, comedy, movement and performance art! Also, check out our latest write-up in the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/04/AR2010030401769.html
