asian american identity crisis

what does it mean to be asian american? in this painting and video essay, i try to approach this question by exploring orientalism, the objectification of asian women, asian american history, and my own relationship to asian american identity. navigating race, culture, and belonging is always complex and confusing – but we are not alone in this struggle :) 🫶 support me on patreon ⤑   / jackieliuart   🎨 buy my art ⤑ https://jackieliuart.com/ ABOUT THE PAINTING: ○ title: “chinoiserie” ○ medium: oil + acrylic on canvas ○ size: 36" x 36" TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 the painting 0:57 orientalism 4:05 objectification of asian women 8:42 identity crisis 15:56 what does it mean to be asian american? –––––––––––––––––––––––––– WHERE TO FIND ME: ○ instagram ⤑   / jackieliuart   ○ tiktok ⤑ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeFRm3N7/ ○ shop (originals + prints + stuff) ⤑ https://jackieliuart.com/ MUSIC: ○ Satie - Gnossienne No. 1 ○ Satie - Gymnopédies ○ Chopin - Etude Op. 10, no. 3 in E major ○ Chopin - Étude Op. 25, no. 1 in A flat Major ○ The Loyalist – Lotus Lane by Preconceived Notions |   / preconceived-notions   Music promoted on https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
