The Asian American Literature Festival, previously canceled by the Smithsonian, will be revived by the Asian American Literature Festival Collective and various partner organizations. Scheduled for Sept. 14-22, the festival will now be held nationwide in cities like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and others, along with events in New Zealand and Australia. The cancellation last year was due to administrative/logistical reasons, not the festival's content, which featured works by transgender and nonbinary writers.
The Asian American Literature Festival is a biannual Washington, D.C. based literary festival dedicated to sharing and growing Asian American literature. It was first held in 2017.
