This year APAture kicks off with our music showcase! With rising star, Ian Santillano, headlining the night alongside an amazing line-up of emerging MCs, singer-songwriters, and electronic music artists!

The theme for this year is RETURN. From the Palestinian right to return, the call for Indigenous Land Back, and the various migrant histories and struggle for justice in our Pacific Islander and Asian communities, artists consider  what the idea of return means to them.
