Welcome to Visualizing Our Identities and Cultures for Empowerment (VOICE)!
VOICE is a project that aims to present the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in Orange County – home to the third largest AAPI community in the United States. As a result of the pandemic, AAPI communities have experienced a disproportionate amount of hostility. We want to showcase how the community is impacted on a multitude of levels, given the already challenging pandemic, personal circumstances, and language barriers by incorporating a technique known as Photovoice. Our team of student researchers captures thought-provoking pictures to document the story of how COVID-19 impacted the AAPI community. Explore our selection of images, categorized neatly under each theme.
