VOL. 1 LAUNCH PARTY

3808 N Williams Ave
Thank you to everyone who came to help launch the zine!
Special shout out to Jamae Ann Sabangan, Lilly Do, Jessica Yen, and hope villanueva for reading their pieces. To Jelly Cup Collective for hosting us! And for Regional Arts and Culture Council for their funding support.
HISTORY
Significant Beings is an expansion of bi:cultural, a collection of stories about navigating identity and belonging as immigrants, created in 2016.
The updated collection has a new intention: to display a more diverse representation of our collective experiences, like stories from second generations and the intersectionality of identities.
A call for submissions was released and shared in March of 2024. Thanks to everyone who helped share the word!
