DVRP Artist Highlight Series: Emma Shainwald

This A/PI heritage month we are highlighting some incredible community artists that DVRP has worked with in the past! Art is central to our work at DVRP as a means for community building, grounding, and joy, as well as an alternative to Western healing approaches. From our annual Art As A Voice event to healing spaces and trainings, we remain grounded in art as an essential part of our healing and collective liberation. 

Emma (she/they) is a transnational Chinese & Vietnamese adoptee from Russia. Currently living in Maryland, Emma enjoys using visual arts as a way of self expression and reconnecting with their culture. In addition to drawing, Emma also enjoys sewing & altering clothes, and drinking a warm cup of tea.
