Inspired by Kyoung’s Pacific Beat’s ongoing community-based dialogues, “Whiteness on Fire,” our theater company is hosting its first, live event since the theater shutdown in March 2020. In partnership with GAPIMNY (Gay Asian Pacific Islander Men of New York) and The Exponential Festival, Kyoung’s Pacific Beat invites its community members to gather at Albee Square in Downtown Brooklyn to ask: “What does Community Safety look like to you?”
On Saturday, July 10th, from 3pm-5pm, Kyoung’s Pacific Beat will invite BIPOC healing and performance artists, and local community members to engage in somatic healing exercises, enjoyment of non-Western cultural expressions, and share stories from their cultures of origin through an open mic session. In addition to our cultural programming, Kyoung’s Pacific Beat will lead a mutual aid drive to provide pre-packaged food and water local community members.
We hope you will support "Community Cares" by volunteering your time, donating food, or donating to our organization to make this event a success. If you have any questions, please contact Ishmael Thaahir at
