missfits fest

The first ever arts and cultural festival of its kind, collective blue’s goals are to bring visibility to self-identifying female Asian-American entrepreneurs and creatives, provide them with an opportunity to share and profit from their work, and build community.

// DAYTIME

During the day, collective blue will have a pop up gallery of curated artists, an interactive storytelling booth, and speaker panels on the follow topics:

• FOB (fresh off the breakdown): mental health in the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community

• Memoirs of a Gaysian: sexuality and gender identity

• To all the Asians I haven’t seen in movies: media representation

• How to tell your parents you’re not an engineer, doctor, or lawyer: pursuing a creative career

// NIGHTTIME

At night, there will be a vendor market of female Asian-American crafters and makers, stand up comedy, live musical performances, and a night food market. The night will round out with a Bollywood dance workshop and tunes from Asian-American female DJs.

Join in celebrating Asian-American women and their multidimensional identities.

All are welcomed. 18+
