DateSaturday, Februrary 2nd, 2013 ARE YOU ELIGIBLEQueer Asian American Women, Gender non-conforming, and Trans people are eligible.  If you are a gay or bisexual cis-male, ally, or can't participate, you can still help! Support us by passing this along to your communities or DONATE to help keep the project going. About the Visibility ProjectA national community powered video/oral story collection + photo portraiture series featuring Queer Asian American Women/Trans/and Genderqueer folksThe Visibility Project combines art, media and social justice to document the personal experiences of Queer Asian Americans. Our community is frequently overlooked, ignored, and disregarded by society at large. The cultivation of this project was a direct response to change that dynamic one face, one story, one participant at a time. The Visibility Project provides a platform that allows participants to self-identify, share their histories and experiences. The result is an unbelievably diverse representation of what it means to be a Queer Asian American that transcends linguistic, cultural, and generational barriers. We hope the project serves as a network to connect our radical, strong, and endlessly creative community. We hope to continue building friendships and coalitions, sharing resources, visions, and stories. We hope the impact of the project continues to grow and expand as more cities are incorporated into the presentation of the Queer Asian American diaspora.About the shootEach session takes about one hour.
