THE ASIAN UNION X PAM VIRADA, AMSTERDAM
https://www.facebook.com/theasianuniongransandbergShed No Tears: Fight or Flight x Distant Observations
In solidarity against Asian hate.
The project presented is a collaboration between The Asian Union and Pam Virada that has grown out from the aftermath of the pandemic. With the repercussions of Asian discrimination that many had and is experiencing, the artists would like to gather attention towards the voices and perception of the students within the union, that manifested itself into physicality.
For the NON NATIVE NATIVE FAIR, The Asian Union is launching their first collection of merchandise, made together with Baby Reni, in order to expand the field of solidarity beyond the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Instituut. Through the support gained from the sales of their merchandise, they are hoping to engage further with the broader public and also to sustain the activities of The Asian Union. All supporters will receive the newsletter of future activities.

Manifested in 2018, The Asian Union was born in search of broadening the boundaries of limitation that derive from the misconceptions of Asian cultures within the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Instituut. Currently, they are generating and expanding the field of solidarity for all Asian (art) students and artists.
Pam Virada is a Thai artist currently studying at Sandberg Instituut and is part of The Asian Union. She is interested in the notions that lie between the realms of architectural space, memory, and mnemonic devices. Drawn into the creations of oxymorons, her practice explores the concepts of the personal and collective memory, colliding subjective realms with physical spaces, the circumstances in-between 'placement' and 'displacement,' fact and fiction. Often, she utilises mixed media installation, moving images, and photography as her medium.
