Art Exhibit, Public Lecture & Workshop on Asian America
September 10 - October 10, 2021 RedLine Contemporary Art Center 2350 Arapahoe Street, Denver
More information at redlineart.org/invisible-hypervisible
inVISIBLE | hyperVISIBLE, a public humanities project on Asian America, consists of an art exhibition, artist talks, public lectures, and community-building workshops. The theme inVISIBLE | hyperVISIBLE captures the struggles of Asians and Asian Americans to survive and thrive in the face of strong anti-Asian sentiment. Asians and Asian Americans are alternately made invisible and hypervisible through stereotypes such as “model minorities,” and perpetual foreigners.” Yet, Asian America is remarkably complex due to cultural diversity, various migration routes, and different socioeconomic circumstances. inVISIBLE | hyperVISIBLE will showcase Asian and Asian American artists, scholars, performers, and community organizers from different ethnic, gender, and geographic backgrounds.
