This performing arts showcase features the works of Teo Lin-Bianco, Tatyana Topasna, Maya Rau-Murthy, Alder & the Kindred, Lily Gee, Taneesh Kaur, D. Kaur, and featured artist Kim Requesto. These works span a wide variety of disciplines—combining spoken word poetry, movement practice, multimedia, and musical performance—and explore the intimacy, vulnerability, and physicality of what Return is and should be. 

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.
