To support Asian American Art, Pasts and Futures, a one-day research workshop hosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) and the Archives of American Art (AAA), and geared towards stimulating research and engagement with Asian American art history. Bringing together 65 visiting museum, academic, and community-based scholars, Smithsonian staff, and SAAM fellows to rethink and share histories of artists of Asian descent in the United States, the workshop springs from an initiative at SAAM to expand the representation of Asian American artists in the museum’s collection and public displays; to preserve historic works of Asian American art; and to foster scholarship on Asian American artists and their communities. It privileges visual engagement with works of art and dialogue rather the written presentations.
