The IU Asian Culture Center will lead the Passport Photo Project — an art making event welcoming students of Asian descent — at 4 p.m. April 6 and 14 at the IU Asian Culture Center on 10th Street.
During the event, students will make art using their passport photographs. They should bring a physical copy of their passport photograph with them if possible. If they don’t have a physical copy, a photograph will be created on site. Students do not need to bring their official passports to the event.
The event is offered for students of Asian descent who want to share their personal stories through art.
All art supplies will be provided to students. Light refreshments will be available. Any students interested should contact the Asian Culture Center.
Inspiration for the event came from IU Visiting Assistant Professor Vivek Vellanki’s ongoing work on his Passport Photo project. At IU, Vellanki works with local South Asian youth to explore photography, migration and culture.
