Kristina Wong - Auntie Kristina’s Guide to Asian American Activism Book Release Event

Join Kristina Wong—performance artist, comedian, writer and activist—for the launch of her new book Auntie Kristina’s Guide to Asian American Activism (Beaming Books, April 2026). In this fresh work, Wong draws on her celebrated body of theatre and social-practice work to explore community care, collective power, and the long legacy of Asian American activism—through her trademark blend of sharp wit, heartfelt insight and grassroots storytelling.

At this reading and conversation event, she and the other 3 authors of Auntie Kristina’s Guide to Asian American Activism (Anna Michelle Wang, Theodore Chao and Jenessa Joffe), joined by special guest Mia Yamamoto (a featured "Auntie Hero" in the book) gracing with stories and a song, and special guests Young Rebels Emi Hope Sperber, Liberty Chao, and Nouthak Saopeng also reading from the book, will discuss the inspiration behind the book, share passages and reflections, and open the floor for audience questions and connection. It’s a rare opportunity to engage directly with an artist whose work spans theatre, mutual-aid practice and cultural commentary—and to gather together around what activism means for us today.

Tickets: $35 (includes book)
