Asian American Virtual Histories is an intergenerational oral history project. Originally conceived in collaboration with Balay Kreative, the collected interviews of this initiative conducted with recognized trailblazers like Jessica Hagedorn and Leland Wong, and emerging artists alike, illuminate Kearny Street Workshop’s 50 years of community arts dating back to the height of the Asian American Movement. All videos are presented in 360 VR format.
