An interdisciplinary project that combines traditional visual art with modern video storytelling to explore the Chinese American experience living in Texas. In addition to the curated still life compositions, Michael Wei, a prominent vlog artist, creates a compelling video series of Austin’s ten legendary Chinese Americans. This series will focus on the narratives of Chinese Texas immigrants since the 1800s, providing a dynamic timeline and multimedia perspective on their journey and contributions.
Thank you to project sponsors Asian American Art & Culture Initiative, Austin Chinese-American Network, Humanities Texas, and United Chinese Americans.
