Asian Images 2023
Every year, in honor of Asian/Pacific Islander (API) Heritage month in May, Stanford's Asian American Students Association puts on Asian Images to demonstrate the impact that everyone can have in combating the under- and mis-representation of APIs in the media and the arts. Asian Images in past years has invited prominent API artists to speak about their unique experiences in this field, as well as centered artists in our own communities, from Stanford students to working Bay Area artists.
This event is free and open to the public.
Join AASA for a gallery walk showcasing works by student and community artists, followed by a speakers panel with the local artists! Select art pieces will be available for purchase.
