9th Annual Yellow Lounge Lets Khmer Youth Share Stories Through Art, Dance and More
Since youth from historically under-resourced and over-policed communities are most vulnerable during this time of year, Yellow Lounge decided this year’s theme will be “Show Youth the Love: Keep Loving, Keep Fighting,” organizers said.
Through theater, poetry, dance, music and art, the public will hear youths’ stories and what they are doing to fight back and empower communities.
Parking is free upon availability. RSVP here.
Beach Academy is located at 3701 East Willow Street.
