Over 50 artists have come together to save the London Chinese Community Centre... with tea.
The @communitea.fund project I’m a part of is live! Myself and 54 other awesome artists have created prints inspired by Asian culture. Prints are available from Roomfifty with all profits going towards saving the the London Chinese Community Centre.
Due to the pandemic, millions of organisations have been put on their knees. This coupled with a frightening spike in anti-East and Southeast Asian hate has faced the LCCC, the first of its kind in London, with permanent closure. A diverse group of creatives have come together to help by creating The Communitea Shop. An online, tea-themed art platform in collaboration with Roomfifty to raise money for the LCCC.

"I created this piece in response to the heightened anti-Asian sentiment that has pervaded the world since the pandemic came to be. In congruence to East Asian culture, I sought to capture the two most pertinent qualities which the East and South-East Asian communities have embodied throughout this ordeal; Strength and Resilience. Strength as symbolised by the Tiger; king of all animals, and Resilience, as represented by the leaves of Ginkgo Biloba; a long regarded symbol of longevity and endurance.
This piece was what sparked several meaningful conversations on what could be done for the ESEA community, one of which led to a brainstorming session that ultimately became the Communitea shop."
