Hyphen is proudly sponsoring a panel discussion on mixed-race identity put together by Asia Society here in San Francisco. A coincidence that it's happening while our Hybrid Issue is out on the stands?
This program brings together a range of artists of mixed Asian descent -- a musician, a visual artist, a filmmaker and a writer -- in a panel discussion moderated by noted mixed-race scholar Dr. Wei Ming Dariotis.
Some food for thought: Is there a collective mixed Asian community? What kinds of experiences define it? How do mixed Asian artists relate to loaded labels like Hapa, Eurasian, Afroasian, Amerasian, etc.? How is art used to express mixed Asian identity? How does artistic expression help to create a mixed Asian community? Though the panel is diverse in terms of artistic disciplines and ethnic identities, the discussion will focus on the common experiences and creative interpretations that help hold the mixed Asian community together.
