(Be)Spoken: Poems from Our Asian American Voices

CAM presents our newest exhibition, (Be)Spoken: Poems from Our Asian American Voices, open from May 16, 2025 – January 8, 2026. The exhibition is co-curated by rapper and poet, Jason Chu and features seven spoken word artists: Tanzila “Taz” Ahmed, arianna lady basco, Emdash, Sun Luu, Michelle Myers, STEADY, and Catzie Vilayphonh.

This dynamic show spotlights spoken word artists by blending their poetry, performance, and storytelling into bold imagery and installation. (Be)Spoken dives into stories of identity, resilience, justice, and community. With each voice, the exhibition shines a light on the complex, evolving narratives of Chinese American and AAPI communities—past, present, and future.
