Sama Sama Art Festival
2025-07-19 17:00 - 20:00 | Moontower Cider Company, 1916 Tillery Street, Austin, TX, 78723, United States
Hosted by Habang Buhay in Collaboration with Moontower Cider Co.
We’ll be tabling at the Sama Sama Art Festival!
Welcome to the first ever Sama Sama Art Festival! As Asian-American artists that have grown up in the South, we feel like the unique intersectionality of Southern and Asian-American culture has shaped our music into something distinct to our niche. We realized that while Asian-American communities on the East and West coast have well-known subcultures, distinct sounds, and popular artists, not many people can point to Asian-American artists from the Southern United States.
We hope that the Sama Sama art festival will end up playing a role in highlighting creatives of all kinds; musicians, dancers, visual artists and craftspeople, of the Asian-American diaspora throughout the Southern States.
