Empowered. Embodied. Expressed

WHAT IS SENSASIAN?

SensASIAN is a collective of Asian Pacific Islander American artists, healers, performers based in the Bay Area, CA. 

SensAsian produces a monthly event series designed to elevate, empower, and activate our embodied expression.

Our goal is to increase API visibility in healing, expressive arts, and  conscious night life spaces.
We prioritize the voices of queer, transgender, non-binary, gender-nonconforming, and womxn-identified folks.

We seek to inspire and collectively awaken our communities through our magic and art.

WHY THIS MATTERS

There aren't enough spaces that honor, celebrate, and encourage asian expression in today's society.

Our own cultural collectivist conditioning combined with white supremacist structures has us trapped in stereotypical boxes of what it means to be a good asian, a model minority

Some of us have come so far in assimilating that we’ve become removed from our own lineage and culture. The racism that plagues this country and the unconscious mindset that we cannot grow beyond whatever distortions we may find within ourselves keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, externally defined, and accounts for many facets of our oppression.

To heal our own intergenerational traumas, pay respects to our heritage, decolonize our bodies and minds, we need the strength of community and the arts to remember where we came from, to reclaim our power fully, and to help direct where we are going as a human species.

We need asian voices and representation more than ever in this ever-changing global climate.

Behind the layers of appropriateness and layered conditioning that separates us from being fully seen, lies a space of permission for you to explore and find the belonging in which you’ve been seeking.

Through the medicine of art and storytelling, we uplift each other in our own unraveling.
We awaken the senses and understand the difference between living and feeling truly alive.

Join Us.
It’s time.
