Free Admission | Registration Recommended Register We celebrate the present while honoring those who came before us—ancestors, trailblazers, and everyday figures who have shaped who we are. From pop stars to activists, from chosen family to beloved mentors, we are surrounded by icons who inspire us, guide us, and offer both counsel and care. MOCA Queer StoryJAM returns for another intimate and powerful gathering, amplifying the voices of queer Asian Americans through storytelling. This time, we explore ICON—those who shape how we see ourselves and those who continue to inspire who we are becoming. Through personal narratives, LGBTQ+ Asian American storytellers will reflect on kinship, friendship, care, and collective resilience. Following the performances, audience members are invited to share their own stories. Join us for an evening of storytelling, reflection, and connection—where sisterhood is reimagined, reclaimed, and celebrated together.
