AAPIReadinglist.com is an interactive net collection curated and built by lens-based and digital artist Ramona Jingru Wang as an affective response to the anti-asian hate crime in the U.S. The list includes fiction, poetry, memoirs and some non-fictions works by Asian Americans from 1999-2020 in a chronological order, juxtaposition to the visualization of the anti-asian hate crime data* shown in the background. (The size of the circle changes corresponding to the victim number of anti-asian hate crime of the year).By gathering and building a reading list of Asian American literature shared on the internet, I hope to carve out a corner on cyberspace for the marginalized voices. It will serve as an introduction to the writings by Asian American authors throughout the past 20 years. Especially with the fictional writings and poetry, it will be a glance and resource into the world of emotions, imaginations and the inner worlds of being Asian American.

All donation raised from this initiative will go to the Red Canary Song. The initiative is made possible with the Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) What Can We Do? (WCWD?) micro grant program. Special thanks to Lucky Risograph for the supports in realizing this project :)
