impact campaign
Blurring the Color Line’s impact campaign aims to facilitate uncomfortable discussions that trigger new questions, insights and increased empathy.
We’re motivated to dismantle the hierarchical structures that have historically divided us and continue to do so today. To simply educate and inform is no longer enough. Mobilizing people to engage in uncomfortable conversations within their communities and themselves is crucial. These conversations give space for marginalized communities to discuss overlooked history and perspectives while empowering women and people of color to speak out, be heard, and be represented.
Blurring the Color Line’s objective is to disrupt binary racial narratives and increase awareness of the untold histories erased by historical producers in power, such as the Chinese experience in the Segregated South. The intention is to spark meaningful exchanges about current race relations between Asian and African American communities by drawing on our connective past, challenge deeply held beliefs, break boundaries and bridge divides.
We are hosting screenings, discussions, and events to be held with and in intersectional AAPI/Black spaces, feminist spaces, academia, and transnational Asian and Black communities.
But we need your help. We seek to partner with individuals & organizations to support these ongoing initiatives.
