ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH AT UBC!
Hello there, Photo Section!
impulsive decision……
As May unfolds, so does the vibrant celebration of Asian Heritage Month! 🌟
The Ubyssey is putting together our special print issue for Asian Heritage Month, and we want you to be a part of it! This is an exciting opportunity for us to showcase the beauty, resilience, and creativity within Asian cultures through the eyes of our diverse student community. We're asking you to capture the spirit of Asian heritage by photographing traditional fashion garments from your respective cultures, whether with your family, friends, or even in a solo portrait.
This is also a good opportunity for students who are away during the summer to participate, so join in wherever you are! Whether you’re relaxing at home with family or spending your summer abroad, we invite you to share your culture through photography which will be published in our Asian Heritage Month Print Issue!
