October Book Club: Human Acts

Join us for a discussion of Human Acts by Han Kang!

📍 Dear Globe Coffee

422 W Mulberry St.

Baltimore, MD 21201

⏰ Saturday, October 10th

1:00-2:30PM

🧾 ABOUT THE BOOK:

Human Acts by Han Kang: riveting, poetic, and fearless portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice by the acclaimed author of The Vegetarian.

In the midst of a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed.

The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. From Dong-ho’s best friend, who meets his own fateful end, to an editor struggling against censorship; to a prisoner and a factory worker, both suffering from traumatic memories; and to Dong-ho's own grief-stricken mother, their collective heartbreak and acts of hope tell the tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice.

An award-winning, controversial bestseller, is a timeless, pointillist portrait of a historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity.

NAAAP Baltimore had a blast celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with you all last month. From our Wellness Day in the Park to Second Thursdays at SNF Parkway to hosting PACE in collaboration with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra AAPI Advisory Council, we are grateful for our community partnerships and to everyone who attended our events.

06/26/2026

Last month, NAAAP Baltimore gathered at the SNF Parkway Theatre for a special Second Thursdays AAPI Meet-up in partnership with the Asian Arts & Culture Center. Surrounded by the incredible Shoes at the Door exhibition, we spent the evening connecting with new faces, catching up with familiar ones, and celebrating the vibrant APIMEDA artists who help shape our local creative community.

Guests explored artwork inspired by hospitality, diaspora, tradition, and belonging while enjoying delicious Filipino adobo from Barkada Breads (and yes, there were definitely conversations about going back for seconds 🍽️).

As this year's AAPI Heritage Month theme reminded us, Strengthening Communities Together, we were grateful for the opportunity to gather, share stories, support local artists and businesses, and continue building connections across Baltimore.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another memorable Second Thursdays. We can't wait to see you at the next one on July 9th! 💜✨

🐾 What a paws-itively awesome morning! 🐾

A huge thank you to everyone who joined NAAAP Baltimore at the Maryland SPCA to help give shelter dogs their first walk of the day. From energetic zoomies to tail wags and plenty of puppy love, our volunteers helped make the morning extra special for some very deserving pups. ❤️🐶

The Maryland SPCA is currently at capacity, and adoption fees for adult dogs have been waived. If you've been considering adopting or fostering, now is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in a dog's life. 🏡
