Asian Deaf Creatives Launch "Stop Asian Hate" Shirt in Support of the AAPI Community
All proceeds will go to the AAPI Community Fund and Stop #AAPIHATE with Asian Signers.
In an effort to diminish anti-Asian violence, Asian deaf creatives Christine Sun Kim and Ravi Vasavan have teamed up with illustrator Meeya Tjiang and Jeff Staple on a “Stop Asian Hate” shirt.
The garment arrives in a faded black colorway and features three groups of white graphics on the front. The illustrations demonstrate American sign language that signs out to, “stop Asian hate.” Elsewhere, the left sleeve has been printed with “STOP ASIAN HATE,” while the right sleeve sports Staple‘s signature pigeon logo along with the Deaf Power symbol “<0/.”
Bringing together a Korean-American in Berlin, an Indian-Australian in London, a Chinese-American in Washington D.C. and a Chinese-American in New York City during these unprecedented times, 100 percent of the proceeds from this global collaborative project will be donated to the AAPI Community Fund and the Stop #AAPIHATE with Asian Signers initiative.
Take a closer look at the design above. The “Stop Asian Hate” shirt is now available online and retails for $50 USD.
