We are arguably in the most interconnected period in history and yet, it is a moment in time that is still plagued by prejudice. In 2020, we saw a terrifying rise of violence towards Asian people in the US. During this uncertain and painful period, we knew that we had to take ownership of our narratives and share our stories. This physical and digital exhibition is our response and our pursuit for change. This is a story of vulnerability.
Here, we have collected work and stories from Asian photographers from around the United States. A photographer’s work is often a reflection of things they hold dear, the things that occupy their minds and lives and so, acts as a mirror to the self. We hope the viewer can enter this space and not only see the work and the artist, but also find something in it all that looks a little like themselves. By doing so, we hope to close the distance between artist and viewer—between them and us—and find that though we may not be the same, we are also not so different.
We will be sending occasional emails that include stories from the community, updates, and resources.
