Artists + Practitioners + Organizations

Outside the Lens (OTL) amplifies youth voices through photography, filmmaking, and digital media, catalyzing change within themselves, their communities, and the world. OLT provides youth with the tools and skills necessary to succeed in a digital world. OLT's vision is that all youth, regardless of income, geography, national origin, or identity, have the artistic and technological skills and access to create and share their stories.

Maraya Performing Arts' (MPA) mission is to uplift historically marginalized communities through creative youth development and place based artistic productions that help forge thought leaders that cultivate meaningful community change.

Asian Culture & Media Alliance, or ACMA, serves to elevate and amplify the voices within our Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) diaspora through the transformative power of media arts, specifically film, television, and new media. The organization aims to advocate for positive social change and better equity by increasing the visibility of diverse AANHPI artists, creators, and cultural practitioners. In doing so, ACMA actively works towards dismantling social and cultural barriers.
