“Where are you from?” An innocent question. Asian people are asked the question: “Where are you from?” incessantly. After the pandemic began in 2020, hate crimes against Asian people increased by over 70%. Asians were targeted, ridiculed, and their businesses were shunned and forced to close. Creativo will be hosting Asian artists and creatives across the spectrum (music, fashion, art, and film) in celebration of the significant richness of Asian culture and contribution to the American Fabric. Sandra Hsu is one of the several talented LA creatives that will be featured at the event. This event is the second stop on a tour, with the final installment taking place at Formula 1 in Miami on May 5, 2023.

Guests who register through the link at the EventBrite will receive the address in Brentwood prior to the event.
