This week, spoken word artist Anida Yoeu Ali embarks on the Generation Return: Art & Justice Tour. Through performance and video works, she'll present a body of work which provocatively considers the diasporic past/present contours of the Cambodian American experience. That's 15 stops, 11 cities and 2 countries -- traveling all the way from Phnom Penh, Cambodia to make this happen. Here's the tour schedule:
"Generation Return: Art + Justice" 2013 TOUR SCHEDULEAs an original member of the pioneering group I Was Born With Two Tongues, Anida's work has been highly influential in my own journey of art and activism. This sounds amazing, and you don't want to miss it. For further information about the Generation Return: Art & Justice Tour, visit the Studio Revolt website.
