About Us
Who we are.
Named after Sulu of Star Trek (the first Asian American character in space) and a remote island in the Philippines, Sulu DC is an underground network and home for emerging and established artists of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) diaspora. On the third Saturday of every month, Sulu DC curates and produces a performance showcase of AAPI artists in poetry/spoken word, music, theater, comedy, film, and multidisciplinary performances.
Our Mission.
Sulu DC provides emerging and established Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) artists with a empowering spaces to nurture artistic growth, strengthen the AAPI artist community, and raise awareness of issues relevant to AAPI communities at-large.
A little bit of history.
Inspired by the former Sulu Series in New York City, Sulu DC emerged from a need for visibility and a supportive community for AAPI artists in the greater Washington, D.C. area. Started in November 2009, Sulu DC was borne of a merging of the fabulous fivesome, Regie Cabico (co-founder of the Sulu Series in New York, Artistic Director of Sol y Soul and spoken word pioneer), Simone Jacobson (poet, dancer and independent curator), Jenny C. Lares (spoken word poet), Brian Wang (co-chair of DC’s Young and Powerful) and Alex Cena (hip hop/spoken word artist and youth organizer with AALEAD). Since then, Sulu DC has now expanded into the Sulu Star System, a committee of dedicated, awesome individuals–all stars themselves.
