This film employs a variety of techniques and visual styles to create an informative and entertaining look into Asian American contributions to American art. By showcasing the artistic contributions of Asian Americans, their unique history in the United States, and how that history informed their art, this documentary expands the public’s understanding of the Asian American experience, upends the static and tired categories of “western” and “eastern,” and challenges viewers to revisualize art and culture in the USA.
