June is not only known for being the pride month but also hosts International Environment Day (05/06) and is the first month of summer. I also was aware of the hate crimes that had been happening during the last year towards people of colour and the movements that have arisen like BLM (Black Lives Matter), Stop Asian Hate between others and this was one of my motivations to raise awareness by creating different posters and posting them on my Pinterest.

As warm weather comes, more people and especially women are ashamed of their bodies by the social paradigm that surrounds them, which causes an increase in alimentary disorders and mental dissisies. Nowadays only 30 out of 193 countries have legalised marriage between people of the same sex and people from the LGBT+ community face a higher risk of being assaulted just for their sexual and gender orientations. The fifth of June was International Environment Day and as I take ESS at school I have become even more aware of the issues that our planet is facing. On top of that, one of my biggest concerns is racism. As an Asian girl, I have dealt with all kinds of comments and been in uncomfortable and very offensive situations and one example of this was when I was coughed on by a couple of kids my age last year in a university fair. I had already experienced certain microaggressions but this really offended me, especially considering that people were starting to die because of COVID-19.

Because of these reasons I was motivated to create different posters. There are way too many movements I would’ve like to reflect in my posters and especially the ones related to antiracism, but I recently heard about how an Asian American woman was assaulted for no apparent reasons. Moreover, an article I read some time ago stated that ‘164% in reports of anti-Asian hate crimes in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the same period last year.’ The reason: COVID-19. Reading testimonies from different people or colour really resonated with me and so I centred my poster on the problems the Asian community is facing.

I tried to spread the message in a visually appealing way because there’s a higher probability of people reading them. I’m surprised by the good and quick results my posts have. (Over 100 shares / saves in less than a couple of days). This was mostly a creative process considering how I drew and wrote the text in all of the posters, but even though I enjoyed creating them, the thing I had in mind was to spread the message and raise awareness about these topics.

Oh geez. I have literally hundreds of cool concepts to choose from...

I'll try to do one from each setting?

@characterdesignreferences keeps posting art with a monthly theme and I love seeing them all as prompts and inspiration.
