About the exhibit: Kearny Street Workshop presents Dreaming People’s History, an exhibition of past and present Asian American arts and activism. Through oral histories, posters, murals, literature, research projects and contemporary art, the exhibition uplifts Asian American history as the creative product of artists, writers and organizers reclaiming the struggles of preceding generations. Their work testifies that the promise of the Asian American Movement is more than a cultural identity. To dream people’s history is to challenge the American Dream with the truth of the past, the creative agency of the present and the radical possibility of the future.
