Asian American Activism and Creative Expression

Through this course, students study the relationship between the activism and creative expression of Asians in the United States. Students will examine the intertwining relationship between the diverse histories of Asians in the United States and the varied works and projects of Asian activists and artists. Students engage with the long and diverse legacy of activists and practitioners who have used various art forms and media (e.g., literary, visual, musical, performance, film) to document, represent, render and reflect upon the diverse histories and experiences of Asians in the US and to combat anti-Asian racism in the US. Expanding awareness of what the arts can be and do, students explore Asian arts and activism as national, diasporic, and interracial phenomena that embody the transcendence and perseverance the Asian spirit in the US.
