Interested in contemporary art and artists? Explore how Asian artists in the United States, ranging from recent immigrants and refugees to the American-born deal with issues of identity, cross-cultural connections, and community through the visual arts. View artworks, artist videos, films, and guest lectures that vividly bring these issues to life.
This interdisciplinary course explores issues of contemporary Asian American identity in art and visual culture, with an emphasis on the need for greater transcultural awareness and understanding in the fluid environment of the post-Cold War world where people, ideas and images swiftly traverse ever more porous national boundaries.
