停止仇恨亚裔

2021年4月9日的更新：当我们第一次写这个博客的时候，我们使用了Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI，亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民）这个称呼。后来，Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (NHPI，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民) 的社区领导人向我们提出意见，指出AAPI这个称呼抹掉了NHPI社区的存在。感谢他们的呼吁，我们已经调整了我们在博客中用的称呼。展望未来，我们将使用NHPI或Pasifika这个称呼来描述我们金县的太平洋岛民社区，以尊重我们的NHPI邻居,并且当我们将我们的各社区视为一个整体时不再忽略该社区。

在反亚裔仇恨犯罪日益增多之际，我们与金县多元化的亚裔社区团结一致。

在反亚裔仇恨罪日益增多之际，我们表示与金县多元化的亚太裔居民团结一致！自COVID-19疫情开始以来，反亚裔种族主义和仇外心理严重影响和伤害了我们的社区。我们谴责对我们夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民社区的系统性暴力和抹煞，我们也知道他们面对的挑战有别于日益增多的反亚裔仇恨犯罪。    

作为对这种仇恨的应对，我们认为艺术是社区愈合的一种重要形式。今天我们分享一些本地优秀艺术家Che Sehyun,、Yvonne Chan,、Toka Valu和 Tori Shao的艺术作品 。他们与我们分享他们的艺术作品，为了让我们看到社区互助互爱的力量，传统文化的治愈潜力，以及集体解放的愿景。      

Yellow, brown, and light orange toned piece of art by Toku Valu with lots of texture. In this print, there are textured trees and sun in the background. At the foreground, seven individuals with masks are puling boxes out of the back of the vehicle and stacking them. Being depicted is a typical day at a PICA-WA food distribution site where several of our Pacific Islander young people and adults continuously show up to volunteer, support the livelihoods of our fellow Pasifika community members, and also connect and fellowship with each other.

“（这幅作品）向我们百折不饶的传统和习俗致敬。它们经历了几十年的意图抹去我们集体自我意识的系统性侵害后仍然幸存下来. 这也是复原力。这一切都表明，我们必须继续提高我们太平洋岛民社区的声音、影响力和民族自决力。” -Toka Valu

This is a piece of art by artist Che Sehyun. This is a photograph in which a femme person with colored facepaint, black heart glasses, and a flowered headdress, is taking a selife in front of a pink and blue wall. Overlayed on top of the photo is white text in caps that reads, "Respect my Culture, Respect My Life, I am Beautiful." At the bottom of the photo, there is white text that says "@HAFAROLDY. Chamoru Cultural Worker."
尊重我的文化. 尊重我的生命. 我很美.

CheSehyun 的作品

“我支持我们的文化未来和我们的集体解放，这是我们的土著文化，我们的生命和我们与生俱来的美丽。” -CheSehyun

This particular illustration is of Sun Wukong (孙悟空) or the Monkey King - a legendary figure and rebellious prankster with many supernatural powers. The Monkey King has a dramatic head dress with orange flames, a painted face with yellow and red circles aroudn the eyes, and is wearing a turquoise mask. The costume includes a large red and white bow around the neck. The Monkey King is weilding a red pole with black bamboo etches. The background is a dark dramatic purple.
Tori Shao的作品

“中国戏曲是音乐剧的一种，华丽的服饰和彩绘脸谱传承了数百年，有着悠久的象征意义。它们是文化自豪感和认同感的一种源泉。透过口罩脸谱和象征复原力的传统元素，著名经典故事人物的坚韧精神延申到现今对抗COVID-19和种族主义的挑战。” -Tori Shao

This is a piece of art by Yvonne Chan. This is a brightly-colored illustration with white text in the center that says "Stop the Hate." Around this, there are people of different shapes, sizes and ethnicities that are mostly masked and holding their fists up in solidarity. There is a grandma dancing with her grandchild, someone holding a boba drink as they put up the solidarity fist, and several young adults. The background is light purple and there is a rainbow weaving across.
Yvonne Chan的作品

“没有简单的方案能解决这些问题，但保持警惕和支持当地亚裔的小生意是一个好的开始。
我们比以往任何时候都更需要支持和保护我们当地的亚裔社区。停止仇恨。” -Yvonne Chan
