Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience
Log Number: MA-249794-OMS-21
The Wing Luke Museum will offer a new program series, “Wing Luke Community Connections,” of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) art workshops, art talks, free public readings, film screenings, and discussions. The series will feature a variety of artists, authors, filmmakers, and scholars who have been exploring the diverse AAPI immigrant experience to bring greater understanding to historic roots, heritage and culture, socio-political issues, and ongoing identity formation. The program will include a mix of virtual-live and in-person formats including interactive arts/heritage workshops, AAPI artist talks, learning modules for young adults on social-justice issues, and a story series for families and kids. This programming also will help with AAPI identity formation, resiliency, community recovery, and combat the rising tide of anti-Asian hate during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
