ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

Community Spread: How We Faced the Pandemic

New Dialogues Initiative Gallery

Community Spread examines the early days of the pandemic to show how uncertainty, fear, anti-Asian racism, and existing inequalities shaped the way COVID-19 has affected different APA communities. The exhibit honors the losses and hardships COVID-19 has brought and highlights the creativity, resilience, and mutual aid that APA communities have shown in their response. Learn how these communities have drawn on their cultural heritage and the legacy of community activism to face these challenges and reflect on the lessons we carry forward.
