CONFLUENCE is a meditation on ancestry and identity through the lens of APIDA and queer artists filmed during moonroom’s 2019 PHASE, an event series celebrating APIDA Heritage Month with underground events throughout Southern California.
This mix of hypnotic images and heartfelt testimonies explores the turmoil of being othered, while enduring creatively and shattering community and perceptual barriers. The reductive myths unjustly stuck on the Asian American diaspora are directly questioned by those who’d rather choose their own labels — or simply do away with them altogether.
