wounded tiger drop!

On the last day of AANHPI month, I decided to drop the call for art for the creative portion of my dissertation! Super excited to see what pieces come in :) Here is the verbiage below:

We live in a world of unwellness—war, social injustices, displacement, and the quiet violence of everyday erasure. These wounds scar our bodies, our histories, our art. Yet like the tiger that curls around its cub despite bleeding, we are called to tend to our own fractures so we may keep tending to others. When the world draws blood, we draw strength from each other.

We seek art that asks:

How do you heal through your creativity?

How do your wounds become a language of care?

What does it mean to protect when you, too, are hurting?

We welcome visual art, poetry, films, or hybrid works that sit at the crossroads of pain and guardianship, whether fierce or tender.
