Kickass poets and performers share the stage at LAPP Fest

A set from the 2013 DC Asian American/Pacific Islander Literary Arts & Performance Poetry Festival.


Last week, poets, literary and spoken word artists, and activists from across the United States convened in Washington DC for the 2013 DC Asian American/Pacific Islander Literary Arts & Performance Poetry Festival, aka "LAPP Fest." From the looks of it, it was an awesome gathering of folks using art for social change.

For folks who couldn't make it to the festival, here's an hour-long video of the LAPP Fest Showcase at The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, featuring artists Gowri K., Adriel Luis, Regie Cabico, Simone Jacobson, Sahra Nguyen, Michelle Myers, Beau Sia and G Yamazawa. Very cool.

I couldn't figure out how to embed the video, so check it out on the Kennedy Center website.
