In the Future Our Asian Community Is Safe is a mural on Mosco St. in Manhattan's Chinatown accompanied by a website that imagines how we transcend White supremacy and anti-Asian violence. The mural depicts a youth holding a red envelope casting a spotlight on local elders in monumental embrace and as indigenous plants of Lenapehoking (NYC) grow from the concrete and soar into the sky above them. The mural was envisioned and painted with youth, adults and elders in the W.O.W. Project Community in Chinatown. Starting this Fall, visitors to the mural will be able to use Augmented Reality to see the mural animate to life and immerse themselves a virtual healing space of ambient music and letters depicting wishes for the future written by community members. Visitors globally are invited to share an offering that manifests safety, mutual care, and communal protection for the future of our Asian community.

1. About the marker
This mural serves as a historical marker because it includes a land acknowledgement for the traditional Lenape (Delaware) people who called this land their home prior to the Columbian Exchange.
