Adoptee Journeys of Belonging: Stories That Bring Us Home

Sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones that help us understand where we came from… and where we belong.

Event Details

Adoptee Journeys of Belonging
Motus Theater x CAPU

📍 Posner Center
📅 Sunday, March 29
⏰ 4:00 – 6:00 PM

RSVP here:

On Sunday, March 29 from 4–6 PM at the Posner Center, Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and Motus Theater will present an incredibly moving event: Adoptee Journeys of Belonging, an interactive Playback Theater experience centering Asian adoptee stories across cultures, generations, and identities.

This unique performance invites audience members to share moments of belonging, displacement, identity, and connection. The Motus Playback Theater Ensemble listens deeply to these stories and then brings them to life through improvised theater right on stage.

It’s storytelling in its most human form. No script. Just listening, reflection, and honoring lived experiences.

The result is a powerful evening where stories are witnessed, affirmed, and shared.

Growing up in Colorado, my life has been full of love, … Read more!

Celebrating 22 Years of Community & Creativity

A Little Fashion Denver Throwback
Fashion Denver is turning 22 years old this year! 🎉

Looking back through old videos and photos always feels a little like opening a time capsule, and this clip takes us all the way back to one of our very first Fashion Denver Fashion Markets around 2007.

At that time, the fashion scene in Denver was a lot quieter than it is today. There weren’t as many runways, pop-ups, or design collectives lighting up the city. But even then, something special was already happening. The creativity, the hustle, and the passion of local designers were alive and well.

Fashion Denver was built around a simple idea: support local designers and create space for them to shine. These early markets were filled with emerging designers, handmade pieces, curious shoppers, and a whole lot of excitement about what Denver fashion could become.

Over the years, it has been such a joy to watch our community grow and evolve. Designers who once showed their very first pieces at these small markets have gone on to build incredible brands, walk major runways, open boutiques, and inspire the next generation of creatives.

Denver’s fashion scene today is vibrant, bold, and … Read more!

The Beasties Photo Exhibition — Opening December 5th!

We are so excited to attend the kick off First Friday with a bold, imaginative, and fashion-fueled new exhibition: “The Beasties” — a collaborative photo series brought to life by designer and creative visionary Mona Lucero and photographer EJ Carr.

Last October, Mona set out to transform her original “Beasties” story into something visual, vibrant, and full of character. Together with EJ Carr behind the lens, the team built an entire world—equal parts art, fashion, attitude, and imagination. The result? A stunning collection of images that invite you into Mona’s storytelling universe, where garments become characters and creativity takes center stage.

This show also features the artistry of:

And of course, the incredible models and team who brought these characters to life.
