Online Blog

The blog/journal is an integral platform and online publication for having creative voices heard within and outside of our community. The platform will include local news, artist feature/spotlight, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essay, visual art, photography, book review, podcast and many more projects to be planned. With AALA’s website, the student organization intends for its members and students of CU Boulder to be contributors to this platform as artists and storytellers. 

Book/Film/Media Club

The book/film/media club will be an avenue where CU students and others can connect directly. The club will choose a text (e.g., novel, article, news, film, music, art, anything in pop culture, etc.), make plans to meet weekly via Zoom or in-person, and discuss the text on a desired level by the collective. As the club grows, AALA intends to add group leaders to have more guided and intimate discussions and provide a variety of texts for members to choose from. Anyone, including non-members, interested in being part of this process is welcome to join. 

Virtual Archive

Asian American narratives have been difficult to access precisely because these stories have been repressed and, as a result, are seemingly sparse. AALA wants to be an easy and accessible resource for anyone to navigate Asian American literature by providing an organized collection of already existing and non-existing information about Asian American history, culture, and resistance. Not only does AALA desire to be another setting where members can explore the literature, but it also should be to be a site from which they can draw inspiration, whether that be through personal, professional, artistic, and/or scholarly pursuits. Everyone will have access to the archive through AALA’s website by opening our 'Resources' page. If you are interested in contributing to the archive feel free to reach out to us!

Collaborative Projects
 

These have been some of the projects we have collaborated on with.

Boulder VSA x AALA: VietAm project

After joining together to have an interactive reading on Thi Bui's graphic memoir, The Best We Could Do, members of the both clubs wrote stories and/or made illustrations of their experiences on Asian American and Asian American diaspora.  Plans have been made to eventually display these stories and illustrations at the University Memorial Center (UMC).
