THPRD’s newest Talking Walls Project celebrates Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage

THPRD and Color Outside the Lines collaborated in a Talking Walls series at the Babette Horenstein Tennis Center in the HMT Complex (15707 SW Walker Rd) in honor of AANHPI heritage and culture.

Anisa Asakawa, Alex Chiu and Jax Ko collaborated in the design and creation of a mural that celebrates community, family and heritage. Local youth and their families were invited to connect and paint with artists, and enjoy traditional snacks. Additional activities included a clay workshop led by Limei Lai and a Shodo (Japanesse Calligraphy) class with Naoko Stonelake.

Anisa, Alex and Jax will continue work through early June  until the mural is completed. If you stop by the Babette Horenstein Tennis Center, make sure to stop and say hello.

In continuation to this series,Nike designer Bryce Wong will collaborate with another piece at PCC Rock Creek on Sat. June 24. This project is funded and made possible by the Oregon Cultural Trust and the Tualatin Hills Park Foundation. We are very grateful to the participating artists, attending youth and families, partners, teachers, and to the funders that make these meaningful spaces and welcoming events a reality!
