How Do Social and Racial Justice Concerns Appear in Your Work?

Racial justice efforts appear in my most recent project by collecting and compiling the artwork of students that address social issues in specific demographics such as the LGBTQ+ community, tackling the intersectionality of race and ethnicity within the Latinx community, interviewing Rutgers students on the black experience, and highlighting the art and literature of the Filipinx diaspora.
