AAPI Solidarity

AAPI Solidarity was launched in partnership with Michelle Woo, Christy Chan, Gia Kuan, Jeff Chang, JiaJia Fei, Karen Ishizuka, Renee Tajima-Peña, the May 19th Project, OBM, Sacramento Kings, and UCLA. Along with the artists who contributed artwork, we participated in cultural awareness workshops to share stories of diversity and nuance within the AAPI communities.

Lunarsol, in collaboration with The May 19th Project and For Freedoms, curated and produced a major public art campaign with the Sacramento Kings. The goal was to broadly visualize and display mutual support in response to the rise in hate and violence against AAPI communities. The project displayed 75 digital billboards across the United States in or near the hometowns of artists speaking out about violence, safety and other important community issues.

This campaign demonstrated a powerful display of unity against hate and violence directed toward AAPI communities while leveraging the power of public art to create conversation and shift culture. Artists viewed this campaign as a rare chance to collectively oppose the pain caused by hate and challenge harmful stereotypes.
