More photos of my new piece, #iamnotavirus. ///// Photography by @alveralda ///// #Iamnotavirus is a hashtag that started from France with the Twitter hashtag #Jenesuispasunvirus to push back against racism related to COVID-19. There have been reports of people punched in the face, spat on and turned away based on their Asian ethnicity. In my piece, portraits of seven Asians are charred onto bamboo weaves. These were victims, including a two-year-old Asian-American girl who was stabbed in Texas, a 23-year-old Singaporean student who was punched in the eye in London, and Malaysian-Singaporean students who were hit in Melbourne. All are mask-wearing – an object that is fundamentally viewed differently in the West versus Asia. The mask represents stigmatization, ostracism, otherness, racial “passing” and shame. Newspaper clippings are weaved in, featuring headlines of racial attacks and “Chinese Virus” proclamations. #Iamnotavirus pokes holes in the mishandling of the coronavirus by leaders and media through the reality that racism is alive in 2020 and should be confronted.

Happy International Women's Day ❤️ Hôm nay Vân rất vui được chia sẻ cùng @smiletrain , Tổ chức đã hỗ trợ hơn 1,5 triệu ca phẫu thuật hở hàm ếch cho các trẻ em trên toàn Thế giới. Những quan niệm sai lầm về hở hàm ếch đã khiến hàng ngàn trẻ em bị cô lập và là nạn nhân của sự bắt nạt, kỳ thị... đặc biệt là các bé gái. Việc điều trị, phẫu thuật giúp các em có sự tự tin hơn và mở ra những cơ hội mới cho các em theo đuổi ước mơ của chính mình! Vân tin về một Thế giới bình đẳng và tràn ngập tình yêu thương 💕💕 Cả nhà hãy cùng Vân theo dõi @smiletrain , về hành trình thật ý nghĩa, mang nụ cười hạnh phúc cho trẻ thơ nhé ❤️ • • Today is a day where we honor and celebrate women and girls around the world. I am excited to be partnering with @smiletrain, an organization that has supported more than 1.5 million cleft surgeries for children in desperate need. Misconception and myths about clefts leave thousands of children in isolation and victims of extreme bullying and stigmatization... especially girls. Cleft treatment empowers girls with new confidence and gives them the opportunity to pursue their dreams! We believe an equal world is an enabled world. Follow @smiletrain to help change the world one smile at a time! ❤️ #SmileTrain #MissUniverse #MissUniverseVietnam #KhanhVan #IWD2020 #EachforEqual

《#我們與惡的距離》，不輸日韓的優秀台劇！今晚起聯播五週，敬請鎖定 公視 @ptsarts 與 @hboasia ！ #追劇日曆在第二頁 #吳慷仁 @wukangrenfanpage 、#賈靜雯 @alyssachia 跟 #溫昇豪 的演技精準、看了直呼過癮，另外我看一集就被 #陳妤 @exploreryu 圈粉了！ . #TheWorldBetweenUs , the rare Taiwanese drama that has everything going full steam — brilliant well-rounded cast, intricate character arcs, newsroom procedural madness, overall very very high production value. But its strength lies with the script, which takes a simultaneously courageous and humanistic approach, tackling difficult societal issues that haunts modern society. The culpability of random-target attacks, the morality of the death penalty, social justice, psychological disorder, social pressuring and stigmatization... the list goes on. But don’t just take my word for it. Experience it first-hand starting this weekend on #PTS channel and #HBOAsia, as well as #CatchplayOnDemand streaming platform! @theworldbetweenus.official
