SAFE WITH ME is a sonic tribute and visual archive of the joy and tenderness created in community. Written in response to heightened anti-AAPI violence and inspired by the Grace Lee Boggs quote, “The only way to survive is by taking care of one another,” this music video captures genuine moments of collective care—from lively block parties in Manhattan’s Chinatown to intimate friendship hangs in a Brooklyn park.

Prisca Choe is a visual artist and cultural worker based between NYC and Philadelphia. Her interdisciplinary practice—spanning film, photography, and sculptural installations—explores the tension between preservation and transformation in Asian diasporic culture, centering women and queer communities. Drawing on Korean craft, stained glass, and her Quaker upbringing, her work expands collective memory and reverence. She’s been commissioned by Lincoln Center and Harvard, and has received the Corky Lee Image for Change Award, honoring her commitment to art as a form of community care. AERI is a singer, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist who aims to foster collective tenderness through raw narratives and alt-ambient soundscapes. Their work has been featured in Them's ""Best New Music by Queer Artists"" and Live Nation's ""Ones to Watch.”
