DIASPORIC DISCO

an Asian American Queer Prom

Austin Asian American Film Festival Fundraiser at APL Central (710 W Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78701) | Fri, March 1, 2024 | 7-10pm

Get groovy with us at our first AAAFF fundraiser - DIASPORIC DISCO: An Asian American Queer Prom! Our work has always unapologetically focused on centering voices and people that are often sidelined and this night will be no different. Our event will center the LGBTQIA2S+ community within our AANHPI one.

We’ll be commemorating the work of queer-identifying Asian Americans' contributions to film along with an evening of charitable giving through being in community with each other.

Learn more about the influence of Disco throughout the AANHPI diaspora here.
