Call for Chinese Adoptees

32 Years Later: The Legacy of Chinese Intercountry Adoption is an ongoing series of photographic portraits by Isabella Kahn that focuses on themes of self-definition, growth, and resilience among Chinese transnational adoptees.

This project recognizes the individuals impacted by the personal and political legacy of this history, analyzes how we as adoptees collectively fit under this shared identity, and celebrates the ways we have grow beyond it. 32 Years Later represents one of the community’s many efforts to connect and heal as a diaspora of displaced peoples.

Requirements

Participants must identify as a Chinese transnational adoptee and must agree to be photographed for the project.
