CACN 2022

BACKSTORY

This year’s story will follow a single family through 3 different generations of women. Each with their own struggles to face within the model minority myth, learned complacency, and the feeling of being “other” when growing up in an American society. Our story will challenge our own racialization as Chinese Americans and how we have historically been used as a wedge between other communities of color. We will cover heavier topics with mentions of hate crimes, police brutality, and American exceptionalism alongside the generational trauma faced by our three women.
