Often gifted at birth, our identities really begin with our names. In On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, Ocean Vuong described them beautifully, “a name, something given by a mother or father, something weightless yet carried forever, like a heartbeat.” Here is the East Asian experience as told by our names. Take a look at the real stories of people just like you.
It was great to see such beautiful faces at the Advertising department's section of OCAD University's 107th Annual Graduate Exhibition! Thank you for telling us your stories, sharing your name, and trying out some classic East Asian snacks. We hope you learned something new about yourselves and enjoyed some art!
