一字千景: a thousand scenes in one word is a community engaged project that aims to connect the Chinese immigrant community with environmental values through calligraphy, drawing, and animation. During two workshops in March and April 2023, the community participants explored their stories with nature through a guided process of brainstorming and imagining with rice paper and ink. These drawings and ideas were the inspiration for the animation..
