Boston-area Asian and Asian American creatives are invited to submit work to “New Narratives: Reclaiming Asian Identity Through Story,” an exhibition that explores notions of Asian identity within the U.S. through the sharing of visual stories and other creative expressions of identity. Storytelling within marginalized communities is a way to reclaim identity and to allow for alternative, inter-generational perspectives that complicate and enrich our mutual understanding.
By sharing “stories of identity,” artists and immigrant communities can reclaim their narratives, which are never singular but made up of countless pluralities. Through this reclamation, modes of representation gain more nuance within and outside of the Asian and Asian American community.
