Over the past few weeks, AMA worked on several events to keep the community enjoying the weather and staying active during this Minnesota summer. The Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans, Asian Media Access (AMA), the Asian American Business Resilience Network (AABRN), and the Asian Street Night Food Market collectively hosted a vibrant night market on June 8-9 at the historical Sears parking lot. This event not only attracted more than 20,000 visitors, with countless cultural food trucks and amazing performances, but also featured an AMA booth equipped with a vaccination pop-up and an interactive 3D model of the Sears site, allowing community members to actively engage with us and learn about our visions. By combining cultural celebration with community-driven initiatives, the night market successfully highlighted the importance of the Sears site while encouraging a healthier, more connected community
Continuing the celebration of cultural diversity and artistic excellence, the outdoor dance drama “Between the Water and Clouds” was held on June 8th, 2024, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Peavey Plaza, 1111 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN. The performance was a collaborative work by Asian Media Access and Phoenix Chinese Dance Academy. After the remarkable success of 2023, this year's event, “Between the Water and Clouds,” was back with a new cast and innovative dance choreographies. The performance aimed to convey the Chinese philosophy of a simple and peaceful lifestyle, especially relevant in the post-COVID era, through the artistic expressions of Chinese dance, music, and poetry. The event was a resounding success, with numerous community members attending to enjoy the beautiful and serene performance, celebrating the unity and richness of cultural artistry.
