WE ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT SEAN MIURA of TUESDAY NIGHT PROJECT FOR MR HYPHEN 2013!
Tuesday Night Project is an art and community organization aimed at utilizing art to bridge people, organizations, artists, and ideas. TNP provides workshops, a campus touring show, and community art support, but is also host to its flagship program, Tuesday Night Cafe.
Founded by traci kato-kiriyama, TNC was created to build a cohesive, consistent Asian Pacific American art scene in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo as a community revitalization project. At the time there was no consistent APIA art series and Little Tokyo was slow, so TNC served both purposes.
Now in their 15th year, Tuesday Night Cafe and Tuesday Night Project continue to serve the local community and contribute to a national conversation about progressive Asian Pacific American art. Every first and third tuesday from April to October, Tuesday Night Cafe takes over the Aratani Courtyard and puts on a FREE, donation-based, volunteer run multidisciplinary show with 6 booked acts and 3 open mic slots. TNC is proud to be multi-genre and multi-generational, especially providing space to People Of Color, female-identified folks, LGBTQI-identified folks, youth, and elders.
Sean works with Tuesday Night Cafe as a co-curator and administrator among many other roles such as performer, occasional host, and team meeting DJ. He is also actively involved in LTRoots, a JTown young adults organization, and has been involved as an organizer with many other groups such as Students of Color in Action, the Nikkei Network for Gender and Sexuality Positivity, Visual Communications, the USC Nikkei Association, the USC Asian Pacific Islander Advocacy Council, JTown Voices, and Asian Pacific Student Outreach, among others.
He is also a founding member of Ninjas for Social Justice, a hip hop dance crew created to preserve and share community stories through choreography and workshops. He also teaches hip hop dance at the Norwalk/La Mirada After School Education and Safety Preparatory Saturday Dance Academy (ASES SDA) in Norwalk, California. The program is aimed at infusing social justice education into K-12 education via exposure to higher ed, instruction, and art.
Here is a picture of him with a puppy:

APAFAPASCAPIACACO-WRD is proud to be presenting the opening seminar at the 2013 Asian Pacific Island Conference on Awareness at the Brava Theater on April 27th! There doesn't seem to be a website up yet and we aren't really sure what the conference is about, so just show up and things should be fine.
For any questions, please add us on Asian Avenue.
