For many diasporic communities of color, including my own, food is ingrained with ways to find identity and stay connected with culture. When thinking about Lunar New Year, inevitably, food is often at the center of my thoughts. From eating jiao zi (餃子 dumplings) because they look like money, or the number of dishes on the table, food becomes a symbol of successfully ringing in the new year.

This quilt is inspired by “Letters for Black Lives,” an open letter project on Anti-Blackness. Through crowdsourcing, it creates a script in native languages to bridge the generational gap in immigrant families and have a frank discussion about race.I chose a primarily yellow and black color scheme as a nod to the ‘70s “Yellow Peril Supports Black Power” sentiment. Too often Asian American communities are put in as buffers between Black and white communities. Whether it is the model minority myth, scapegoating for violence, or perpetual foreigner stereotypes, this tactic distracts from white supremacy. I love knowing this rich history of Black and Asian solidarity.

Named for the community feature of Pokemon Black & White, this quilt is about connection, and what better to represent communities than circles? Circles are such a big part of community. The power is shared in a circle, where everyone can see and speak and share.

This quilt is inspired by the 35W Bridge in Minneapolis. During the month of June this bridge is light in rainbow colors in honor of Pride. The reason we celebrate Pride now in such a robust way in Minneapolis is because of Queer Trans women of color, Marsha P. Johnson and Slyvia Rivera. I have recreated this in quilt form with LED lights to light up the bridge and honor those who fought against racism before us.
