KYLYN AAPI Arts + Culture Festival presents
STEADY FLIGHT CIRCLE @steadyflightcircle
Ann Arbor Downtown Library: Lower Level Program Room
Thomas Xu is a producer and DJ who creates music that dissolves boundaries between genres and strangers. He debuted with Roots That Talk, a split EP with Julion De’Angelo, released on Theo Parrish’s label Sound Signature. His own label, Steady Flight Circle, champions weird and honest music. Xu recently released his new album, The Heart of the Matter, which contains transpositions from leaving Detroit in 2020 to Thomas Xu’s return from Chicago in 2024. In its intention, Xu’s music is in gratitude for the village and ancestry that supported and enabled Thomas’s existence.

Panel Discussion
Building Media Literacy in Older AAPI Communities
Join us for a panel discussion exploring the socio-cultural issues affecting the elder AAPI populations today. More than ever, this vulnerable demographic is facing a surge in being targets for scams, disinformation, and soft propaganda. These threats, often amplified through social media, exploit cultural, linguistic, and generational gaps, leading to severe financial, emotional, and social consequences. This panel discussion will focus on strategies being developed in solutions journalism to increase information literacy among AAPI elders and push back against these predatory tactics with evidence-based responses.
Featured panelists include: Zosette Guir and Bill Kubota of Detroit PBS.
This event is sponsored by the Asian American Journalists Association of Michigan. Special thanks to Frances Kai-Hwa Wang

Wow, can't believe we're here!! Baby's first tournament. Come join the Detroit Mahjong Club in April for our April hang and one-year anniversary tournament.
Some things to note:
🐦 Tournament sign-up link is in our bio. $5 entry fee, winner gets the pot.
🐦 Tournament rules are also linked in our bio. We're playing a simplified version of HK style mahjong.
🐦 You don't have to participate to attend (and attending is free)! We'll still have some tables going for general play, and we highly encourage people to come and spectate.
🐦 This month's meet will be at Brewery Faisan, 1087 Beaufait St.
Hope to see you there!
