In Partnership with MOCA Against Anti-AAPI Racism
In an important gesture of allyship and solidarity among people of color, WOC is thrilled to announce its partnership with the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) around the Remember, Record, Respect initiative.
Nancy Yao Maasbach, President of MOCA, said, “In work and in life, a partner is meant to make you stronger, better, wiser. With our inaugural partnership with WOC, MOCA has found a partner who does just that — Everyone at MOCA is honored and humbled to join with WOC to share stories collected around acts of support and encouragement by AAPIs during the pandemic and acts of hate toward AAPIs. Only when we record and remember our stories, can we begin to have respect for one another. Thank you, WOC, for seeing MOCA.”
Hate against Asian American Pacific Islanders is on the rise again. The roots of this racism are not new. Document what’s happening now so history NEVER FORGETS.
As part of this partnership, WOC Members are invited to submit their stories, letters, emails, texts, videos, recordings, reflections, conversations, photos, social media posts, art, poetry, or songs created in response to anti-AAPI violence. Three submissions may be selected for the promotion of a public program series sponsored by WOC in conjunction with Remember, Record, Respect and for potential inclusion in the exhibit.
Submissions are now closed. Thank you for your interest and participation.
By making your submission, you are giving WOC permission to use all elements of your submission (images, photos, audio, music, art, texts, social media, etc.) for marketing/media purposes and public use.
