chicago is asian.
when asked about Asians in Chicago,
most people only think about a few Asian communities.
but there are so many Asian communities that also live here
who don't feel seen in the same way.
​
in fact, there are at least 15 different Asian communities
that live here.
each is beautiful and deserves to be seen and celebrated.
THE DESIGN
to highlight each of the
15 communities,
we worked with over
20 different translators
and translated
WE EACH BELONG
into the languages of those 15 Asian communities.
