If February was filled with the noise and celebration of the New Year, we hope this month brings a moment to pause.

As we approach Nyepi (March 19–20, 2026), Bali’s sacred “Day of Silence,” the entire island enters a 24-hour collective ”disappearance.“ No lights, no flights, no noise—just the profound stillness of the ”Saka“ New Year. 🇮🇩

According to Balinese Hindu tradition, this total silence is meant to trick passing evil spirits into thinking the island is deserted, cleansing the land for a peaceful year ahead. 🕊️
A quiet reminder of the beauty of negative space—
not everything needs to be filled. Sometimes the most meaningful act is simply to pause and listen.

✨ Monthly Heritage: Celebrating Asian Traditions 🌏
Our mission is to celebrate the diverse rhythms of life across Asia. Every month, we explore a different ”worldview“—a glimpse into how other cultures live, pause, and find meaning.
Join us as we discover another way to belong to this world. 📖✨

Merry Christmas from NYC, with love.

We are honored to return to the SVA - MFA Design for Social Innovation (DSI) program as guest speakers this week✨

The opportunity to share our journey with the next generation of social designers reminds us why AAAAH was created in the first place: to build structural, long-term support for emerging Asian artists and amplifying their voice.

We reflected on the early days of AAAAH — from our first unexpectedly successful event, to uncovering the systemic gaps, to realizing that the creative ecosystem lacked a sustainable, equitable framework for supporting new talent.

What deeply resonated with us was the engagement, curiosity, and thoughtful dialogue from DSI students. Their questions reaffirmed the importance of integrating real-world complexity into the practice of social design.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our beloved Program Chair Miya Osaki for inviting us back to DSI, and to Amanda Ramos for the generous support ❤️

This return wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible team. A special thank you to the brilliant designer behind our presentation deck, Kristina Kim (.meichen ) (who is also from DSI!), our wonderful host Iris Yuetong Pan ( ), and our workshop facilitator Jinheng Lu(.is.jynn ).

And to our amazing partners who couldn‘t be on stage with us, Zichun Wang (Michelle) and Jiayi D**g (Jai), this presentation is built on your outstanding work every day.

And a huge thank you to our photographer, Haojie , for capturing these moments!

Together, we can reshape the structures that shape our communities.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to dance on Broadway? 💃
No dance experience needed! — just bring your curiosity and let your body move. 🌙

This October, join us for an intimate workshop led by Polly Baird — the Dance Captain of The Phantom of the Opera (Broadway).

At just 18, Polly joined the show and went on to perform and coach for over 20 years. Her choreography shaped generations of Phantom performers — and now, she’s here to teach you.

✨ Learn authentic Phantom choreography
✨ Experience dance as emotional healing
✨ Hear untold Broadway stories from the inside
