DPI Alum Chang W. Lee on love in a time of hate for NY Times

Sunday, Apr 11, 2021

Photography & Imaging alumnus Chang W. Lee had a recent photo published in The New York Times on how Asian and Asian-American photographers visualize "love in a time of hate," in light of the swelling anti-asian violence that has swept across the United States.
 
"For many of Asian descent, there is good reason for love to look like worry, especially now. Our faces mark us, in the eyes of too many, as foreigners, no matter how long we’ve been in the United States. Sadly, this is nothing new. Like so many other wrongs in our society, it’s a crack that has always been present, widening under the pressure of the pandemic." - Essay by Celeste Ng
