The dance drama Chitrangada is a phenomenal illustration of Tagore’s conceptualization of human emotions. The play follows the warrior-princess Chitrangada, who has been raised like a man by her father as he wanted a son. Upon an encounter with Arjuna, the greatest warrior of the time, where she is ignored and dismissed as a little boy, the masculine Chitrangada starts grieving her disconnect from femininity.
We are excited for you to join us at the PAAHM Cultural Show 2024! This year’s PAAHM theme is Nostalgia and the Path Forward. The event will celebrate Asian culture through performances and more! Location can be found through the event registration page.

Diana Khoi Nguyen and Cindy Juyoung Ok ‘14 read and converse at the collapsing center of narrative, depiction, and noise. How do violence and liberation move the Asian American body, and where does its language start, stop, and meander? What stays in between and without sound, space, or silence in the generational aftermath of U.S. wars in Korea and Vietnam? The award-winning writers share varied rendering of gaps—resistances, ruptures, and fissures—as well as their closing or widening through translation, experimentation, and reframing.

Join the AACC’s Political Action and Education Team as we welcome Professor Alvita Akiboh for a book talk and conversation about her recently published work, Imperial Material: National Symbols in the US Colonial Empire. This event is part of the AACC’s Pan Asian American Heritage Month Celebration: Nostalgia and the Path Forward, and we invite you to be in conversation about how US national identity has been created, challenged, and transformed through embodiments of empire found in US territories, from the US dollar bill to the fifty-star flag.
