Post Envisioning Diaspora 090306



Ken Chu and Alexandra Chang.

Last night was the book launch of Envisioning Diasporia at A/P/A NYU. These are some of the images from the show. It was an interesting evening full of optimism and hope. There were three artist collectives represented, Godzilla, Godzookie and Barnstormers. The mind set of each group and the way each group formed and how they are motivated by collaborations was some of the topics being discussed for the event. Most of the book deals with asian-american artists and asian american collaborations. It talks about the emerging asian in new york city from the 1980s. It is a historical book of explaining asian americans and asian artists in america. Particularly the question of identity. Check it out! It is being sold at finer bookstores.
