Welcome to Asians in Animation, a fun and friendly global community!Founded in 2020, Asians in Animation, also known as AIA and AnimAsians, is a community-powered organization dedicated to the celebr-Asian and support of the Asian animation community.
Asians in Animation is committed to the Elevation and the Celebration of Asian stories, Asian-led work, and the many cultures and diversity that spans the entire continent of Asia. Our organization provides information, stories, resources, and perspectives, but most importantly, Asians in Animation champions the worldwide Asian animation community. |
Our StoryAIA began first and foremost through friendship. Starting out in their first industry roles, friends and founders Brandon, Lexie, Joshua, and Olivia noticed that there was no group or organization dedicated to Asians who work in animation. They instead relied on each other for professional advice, support, and guidance, but thought, "how great would it be to have this friendship and camaraderie with our larger Asian community?" Thus, AnimAsians was born.
|
Our MissionOur mission at AIA is to create space and support the global Asian animation community through their entire careers. By creating more access to industry education and a streamlined communication channel between Asian animation communities all across the globe, we hope to empower Asian creatives to take the next step in their careers and thrive in what they do. In addition, we want to help the animation industry support their Asian employees and create more diverse and inclusive Asian content through advocacy, research, talent development, focus groups, and resources.
