Community Voices from Global Asias
Development of Global Asias took place during a time when the United States saw an alarming increase in hostility and violence towards people of Asian descent. As a way to reconcile this disturbing trend with the exhibition’s exploration of the multiple and interconnected Asian diasporas, the Palmer staff invited community members of Asian descent to contribute their personal perspectives. Members of the Penn State community offered insights and stories about their experiences of what it means to be identified as “Asian” or “Asian American.”
