 DPI Student Sam Lee 's project #STOPASIANHATE is featured in the Student Gallery. "When I was 14, I went to my first Black Lives Matter protest. In the six years since, I’ve spent countless hours at demonstrations for many causes, yelling chants, meeting people, and photographing.I love doing this. And two weeks ago, when I took these photos, I felt two things for the first time. One was the feeling that the issue at hand most directly threatened me, a Chinese American girl. The other was realizing that the people present came to support and defend me against the creeping shadow of violence – by the general public and by the police – against Asians who live in the United States. ."

 DPI Student Ashley Pena is featured in Apple's Hometown Series
"I want these images to tell a story about love and how a certain person can feel like home to you. One could become so comfortable with another person that they start to feel like home, a familiar and safe space. I feel like that is a reflection of New York City and all of the people here who have found their little “home” in such a highly-populated area.” See her work here. |
