Threads of Justice

Asian American Advocacy Fund | 2024

The collective work and resilience of Asian American communities have long been vital threads running through the fabric of America. These vast and diverse communities possess rich histories of resisting and organizing for civil and human rights, intertwining with one another to weave beautiful, expansive tapestries of collaboration and cross-solidarity. Threads of Justice seeks to elaborate upon these tapestries, as twelve local artists envision what the future of art and activism can look like as they move forward together. Just as people have seen Asian American communities adapt and grow from remnant patches into multi-faceted networks thriving and striving, Threads of Justice visualizes collective resilience through reimagining how justice and belonging can pull inspiration from the past while transforming both the present and the future.

They work in coalition and solidarity with other communities of color to ultimately transform the sociopolitical landscape of Georgia and the South.
