Queer Vietnamese American art we can get behind! These pieces by Antonius-Tín Bui reclaim the Asian craft tradition of paper cutting.
“As a queer, gender-nonbinary, Vietnamese-American artist, Bui’s work celebrates, honors, and challenges assumptions about intersectional identities.” Learn more at antoniusbui.com

What do you do? I am the host of Project Voice, a Podcast series dedicated to increasing visibility on narratives from Asian/Asian American women. The entire project was a huge step for me as an online content creator because it required me to use something I grew up feeling very self-conscious about: my voice. So, having to step outside my comfort zone to articulate the feelings and experiences of a community that I am a part of was worth it because it was also a community that I really care about. There may always be social injustices happening to our community and all over the world during my lifetime. However, I find that the bigger issue that I have in life is about how people react to these injustices caused by the systems rather than the systems themselves. For that reason, I don’t think I will ever stop creating.
