Dedicated to mobilizing the San Francisco Bay Area Asian Pacific Islander community for this fall’s crucial elections – locally\, statewide\, and nationally – this exhibition features artwork by artists across the country\, including the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund’s 2020 and 2024 Creative Catalyst cohort artists and youth artists from City Studio.    According to the Public Policy Institute of California\, despite being a vibrant and prominent demographic\, only 54% of Asian Americans are likely to vote. Historically\, our voting rates have not reflected our growing influence and the urgent issues we face. “AAPI Voters Have Power” underscores why it’s essential for each of us to participate actively in the electoral process. Each vote carries the weight of shaping policies that affect our daily lives\, from education and healthcare to civil rights and representation. Voting is critical to shaping our collective future.    EunSook Lee\, Executive Director of the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund\, shares\, “We know the AAPI vote can make or break elections. What will happen in November will determine the future of democracy in the United States\, and AAPI communities will be central to that. Art and social change start at the personal level\, and we are grateful that these phenomenal artists have created work that speaks to the Asian American and Pacific Islander experience today.”    Through compelling artwork and storytelling\, “AAPI Voters Have Power” illuminates the power of our collective voice and the impact of our votes on the future of our communities and democracy at large. We hope to impart the following message to you: your voice is crucial\, and your vote can drive meaningful change. Let’s make a difference this fall!   This show will be open from September 18\, 2024\, to November 9\, 2024\, during OACC’s business hours (Wed-Sat\, 12 PM—5 PM).    Special thanks to the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund and their 2020 and 2024 cohort artists participating in this exhibition.   Participating Artists Hena Ashraf City Studio  Kat Evasco Tori Hong  Lehuauakea Katie Quan Sonia Rao  Cindy Shih Aparna Sindhoor PhD.   The artwork used in the exhibition flyer is “Abolitionist Elder” by Tori Hong (www.ntxoo.art).   Gallery Hours: Wednesdays through Saturdays\, 12 PM – 5 PM  Location: Oakland Asian Cultural Center 388 9th St\, Ste 290\, Oakland\, CA URL:https://oacc.cc/event/closed-for-holidays/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191220T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191220T200000 DTSTAMP:20260506T200419 CREATED:20191114T224025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191226T211117Z UID:7337-1576866600-1576872000@oacc.cc SUMMARY:The Southeast Asian Diaspora DESCRIPTION:AAPI VOTERS HAVE POWER Exhibition Dates:Sept. 18\, 2024 – Nov. 9\, 2024 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Oakland Asian Cultural Center presents “AAPI Voters Have Power\,” a powerful new exhibition where art meets activism in a loud call for civic engagement.

Dedicated to mobilizing the San Francisco Bay Area Asian Pacific Islander community for this fall’s crucial elections – locally\, statewide\, and nationally – this exhibition features artwork by artists across the country\, including the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund’s 2020 and 2024 Creative Catalyst cohort artists and youth artists from City Studio.    According to the Public Policy Institute of California\, despite being a vibrant and prominent demographic\, only 54% of Asian Americans are likely to vote. Historically\, our voting rates have not reflected our growing influence and the urgent issues we face. “AAPI Voters Have Power” underscores why it’s essential for each of us to participate actively in the electoral process. Each vote carries the weight of shaping policies that affect our daily lives\, from education and healthcare to civil rights and representation. Voting is critical to shaping our collective future.    EunSook Lee\, Executive Director of the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund\, shares\, “We know the AAPI vote can make or break elections. What will happen in November will determine the future of democracy in the United States\, and AAPI communities will be central to that.
