Wing Luke Exhibit Shows the Resiliency and Community of Asian American and Pacific Islanders During COVID-19
Eric Chung personally witnessed the heartwarming ways her Korean American community had come together and shown resiliency during the COVID-19 pandemic, but she was concerned that the overall experience of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities during this time was not being adequately recorded or represented. So, she teamed up with The Wing Luke Museum to develop the mixed media exhibit “Community Spread: How We Faced a Pandemic.” The exhibit is comprised of photographs, artifacts, oral history excerpts, and original artwork that shares stories from a range of AAPI residents highlighting their experiences enduring the COVID-19 pandemic.
