Vishavjit Singh
Vishavjit Singh is a New York City-based illustrator, writer, performance artist, diversity speaker, and creator of www.Sikhtoons.com. He got his spark for cartooning in the post-9/11 tragedy when Americans with turbaned and bearded countenances became targets of hate/bias crimes.
For the past few years, Vishavjit has been traveling across the U.S. with his Sikh Captain America persona armed with a turban, beard, and humor to tackle fear, anxiety, bigotry and intolerance. He uses storytelling as a tool to create a space for challenging conversations around identity, race, bias, vulnerability and how to be agents for change.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic he has been working with the city of NYC Test & Trace Corps and a local NGO UNITED SIKHS on COVID-19 suppression and relief efforts.
