DEAF AAPI EXPERIENCE

Check out Yiqiao Wang's new mural celebrating the multicultural spirit of American Sign Language (ASL) on 5th St NE behind The Market. The mural represents the pride of all deaf people of the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Its bright and bold colors symbolize the vibrancy of AAPI culture and incorporates symbols of Washington, DC, to represent the Deaf community's experience rooted in America's democratic values and the Deaf AAPI community's contributions to society. 

Originally from Beijing, China, Yiqiao Wang is a senior at Gallaudet University's The Science of Learning Center on Visual Language and Visual Learning. She takes a variety of approaches in exploring her illustrative visions, using both hand drawing and digital work. Her creative principles are featured in several prominent mural locations including downtown Minneapolis and the Signing Starbucks store on H Street NE.
