As the COVID-19 wave hits the World for the first time in the Spring of 2020, a flow of hatred towards populations of Asian origin appears, like a second virus infecting populations. A
campaign to denounce hate, violence and agression against Asian
people is emerging in response to this
brutality.
"In response to the global increase in racism stemming from the new coronavirus pandemic, 60+ artists from Canada and France have joined forces. Using their pencils, they collectively denounce xenophobia and show their solidarity with Asian communities through their drawings
We believe that acting collectively will allow us to respond intelligently to the challenges facing our society. We reject and oppose the scapegoating of any marginalized community, regardless of its cultural designation."

Alors que la vague de COVID-19 frappe l'Orient et l'Occident pour la première fois au printemps 2020, un mouvement de haine envers les populations d'origine asiatique apparaît, comme un second virus qui contamine les populations. Un mouvement de dénonciation deces actes de haine et d'agression envers les personnes d’origine asiatique voit le jour pour répondre à ces violences.
«Nous sommes plus de 60 artistes qui se rallions contre la xénophobie en solidarité aux communautés asiatiques. Nous rejetons l’idée que toute autre communauté marginalisée soit un bouc émissaire.
Nous croyons que c’est en agissant collectivement que nous ferons intelligemment face aux enjeux de société.»
