停止仇恨亞裔

2021年4月9日的更新：當我們第一次寫這個博客的時候，我們使用了Asian  American and Pacific Islander (AAPI，亞裔美國人和太平洋島民）這個稱呼。後來，Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (NHPI，夏威夷原住民和太平洋島民) 的社區領導人向我們提出意見，指出AAPI這個稱呼抹掉了NHPI社區的存在。感謝他們的呼籲，我們已經調整了我們在博客中用的稱呼。展望未來，我們將使用NHPI或Pasifika這個稱呼來描述我們金縣的太平洋島民社區，以尊重我們的NHPI鄰居，並且當我們將我們的各社區視為一個整體時不再忽略該社區。

在反亞裔仇恨犯罪日益增多之際，我們與金縣多元化的亞裔社區團結一致。

在反亞裔仇恨罪日益增多之際，我們表示與金縣多元化的亞太裔居民團結一致！自COVID-19疫情開始以來，反亞裔種族主義和仇外心理嚴重影響和傷害了我們的社區。我們譴責對我們夏威夷原住民和太平洋島民社區的系統性暴力和抹煞，我們也知道他們面對的挑戰有別於日益增多的反亞裔仇恨犯罪。   

作為對這種仇恨的應對，我們認為藝術是社區癒合的一種重要形式。今天我們分享一些本地優秀藝術家Che Sehyun、Yvonne Chan、Toka Valu和 Tori Shao的藝術作品 。他們與我們分享他們的藝術作品，為了讓我們看到社區互助互愛的力量，傳統文化的治愈潛力，以及集體解放的願景。     

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.
Toka Valu的作品

我們百折不饒的傳統和習俗致敬。它們經歷了幾十年的意圖抹去我們集體自我意識的系統性侵害後仍然倖存下來。   這也是復原力。

這一切都表明，我們必須繼續提高我們太平洋島民社區的聲音、影響力和民族自決力。” -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

“我支持我們的文化未來和我們的集體解放，這是我們的土著文化，我們的生命和我們與生俱來的美麗。” – 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

“中國戲曲是音樂劇的一種，華麗的服飾和彩繪臉譜傳承了數百年，有著悠久的象徵意義。它們是文化自豪感和認同感的一種源泉. 透過口罩臉譜和象徵復原力的傳統元素，著名經典故事人物的堅韌精神延申到現今對抗 COVID-19和種族主義的挑戰。”
-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.
停止仇恨

“沒有簡單的方案能解決這些問題，但保持警惕和支持當地亞裔的小生意是一個好的開始. 我們比以往任何時候都更需要支持和保護我們當地的亞裔社區. 停止仇恨.
-Yvonne Chan
