For years, ARU-CRE Storytellers have explored these connections alongside beloved communities, including people connected with the Asian Prisoner Support Committee at San Quentin State Prison.

Together, we weave stories of grief, injustice, resilience, reunion, and healing. These placental threads connect ancestral memory with the present, nurturing hope and belonging for future generations.

Through our placentas, we connect with ancestral lands, carrying their stories across borders and generations. Far from home, we explore how our roots shape our sense of belonging.

Accessibility: EastSide Arts Alliance is ADA accessible. ASL interpretation is available Saturday, November 21, only. A haptic tour and audio description are available Sunday, November 22, only. The haptic tour begins at 1 p.m.
