For our 30th anniversary, we’re thinking not only about our collective history and future but about place and geography. So much of what makes AAWW special are the memories we have sharing space with our community. Each spot where the lines in this graphic intersect mark the Workshop’s locations throughout NYC 💡 From St. Mark’s to Koreatown to Chelsea. Head to bit.ly/aawwat30 to contribute to AAWW’s future today! #AAWWat30
Can you believe AAWW is turning 30? The Workshop has long been a space of resistance, care, and community. And in a global pandemic, we not only strive to transcend space, but also transcend what it means to be an Asian American or Asian diasporic writer in NYC and beyond. Share your fondest memories from the last thirty years and visions for the next thirty years to come in the comments below. Help us raise $75k toward the future of this organization and the worlds we’ll create together! #AAWWat30
For 30 years, AAWW has been devoted to creating, publishing, developing, and disseminating creative writing by Asian Americans. As a literary arts space at the intersection of migration, race, and social justice, we want to radically envision the next 30 years with you.

Today is the official launch of LIVING IN ECHO, a new notebook from #TheMargins in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of September 11th in collaboration with the Asian American Literary Review! Over the next two weeks, we will release interviews, essays, and oral histories covering everything from community organizing to solidarity building to reframing violent legacies toward strength and action.
We open with "We Were Not Allowed to Mourn," an oral history of NY’s Arab and Muslim community after 9/11 by Lylla Younes, up now at the #linkinbio
One year into Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities, @aafcollective and @blkwomenradical's column in The Margins, co-editors and contributors reflect on what we've learned.
"The people I loved and organized alongside had all been living with the ghosts of their ancestors, alternatively calling on them for hidden wells of strength and sinking deeply into pools of their trauma, passed down silently in their bodies. I have learned about how to give and offer kindness and grace from these people."
