At Kundiman, we prioritize creating a safe and rigorous space to connect audiences to Asian American literature and to uplift emerging Asian American writers. Each year we host 30 to 40 readings and workshops across the country, including New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Boston, Santa Fe, and more. We provide a diverse range of workshops, such as the Food Writing Intensive, Creative Nonfiction and Fiction Workshops, and more. Recaps and website pages of past workshops, readings, and festivals are below. We hope you’ll join us in the future!
