Call for Workshop Proposals: 2011 Asian Pacific Islander American Spoken Word and Poetry Summit
Deadline: 1 June 2011

The 2011 APIA Summit seeks workshop proposals to reflect our theme, “Moving It Forward, Bringing It Back.” We wish to honor the Summit’s legacy of art inseparably combined with community building and activism. We are asking that workshop presenters identify the creative and/or community issue aspects of their workshops as a central part of workshop proposals. Workshops with a specific activist issue or theme must include a writing exercise or other creative component.


We welcome proposals from presenters who identify as Asian/Asian American/Pacific Islander and plan on attending the Summit. We strongly encourage artists, organizers, and activists from underrepresented communities and underrepresented regions to submit proposals.

*Please note that as a grassroots effort, the Summit cannot fund travel or provide honorariums. Registration fees for all workshop presenters, however, will be waived.

Interested presenters should download the presenter application form and attach bio and description as .doc/.docx or .pdf attachments. Please send proposals to: apiasummit2011workshops@gmail.com. Deadline is June 1; we will notify presenters by July 1.

If you have an idea for a workshop and would like to discuss it with Summit organizers, or if you have any questions, please contact us at apiasummit2011workshops@gmail.com.
