I hope this collaboration between Shepard and myself can raise awareness about the long history of anti-Asian hate and the important legacy of Vincent Chin whose untimely death in 1982 galvanised the people to demand Asian American civil rights. This current crucial moment in history calls for a gathering of momentum where Asian diaspora voices should go loud and proud. To stand together, advocate for change and collectively build bridges of understanding over glass ceilings and walls of hate.

I was delighted to collaborate with Gordon Cheung because his art is beautiful but woven with both overt and sublime social commentary. We chose to create a collaborative portrait of Vincent Chin, who was murdered in a hate crime, to call attention to the history and ongoing issue of anti-Asian racism. All proceeds from the print will go directly to Advancing Social Justice for Asians Scholarship Fund. Thanks to @granger_picturearchivefor the kind sponsorship of the historical imagery, and Helen Zia (@helenziareal) of the Vincent Chin Foundation for the support.
