Leaving Silence: Queer Asian and Pacific Islander Oral History Exhibit (October 1996) is both a
community project and an educational campaign, that was conceived and executed in Seattle, Washington.
The 12-panel exhibit is composed of 13 narratives and 34 black-and-white photographs, and its theme is
"coming out." The narrators and those who appear in the photographs identify as queer and as Asian and
Pacific Islander. The project involved the collaboration of four community-based organizations: the Asian
Lesbian and Bisexual Alliance, the Asian Pacific AIDS Council, the Asian Pacific Islander
Homosexuality/Homophobia Education Project, and Queer & Asian. In this thesis I analyze this exhibit and
demonstrate its relevance to critical pedagogy and to all those movements interested in the establishment of
social justice.
