My work this week on my creative project has not gone as far as I have wanted it to, in part because I have been sick, but also because I have been focused on my thoughts from the field trip. However, I have to admit that I have had some related thoughts between the topics. The art of Takuichi Fujii and Zhi Lin both created some strong statements about baring witness to different equally horrid events of American history. Both artists worked with some very powerful topics, that resulted in very powerful art. I also know that such events in other communities have lead to some amazing musical typed art. I want to know if the AAPIA communities have created music out of such experiences and if so, what does it sound like? Is it jazz, or blues or another form of music associated as being uniquely American? Or is it something else.
