To celebrate and share Asian culture and heritage o Notes: By cultivating a sense of identity, we aim to create a strong, vocal, and present club that can function as a supportive community within the Whitman campus. For some of us, by embracing our past and for others by embracing our experiences and connections to Asian culture, we aim to share the various aspects including religion, food, art, music, and language with each other and the Whitman community that make Asian culture so rich. ASIAN IN ROCK (AIR) TOUR CONCERT A.I.R Tour Wednesday, April 12th 7 pm RCC Ballroom Public Event Background: The tour was organized three years ago with hopes of giving Asians voice and encouraging creative license in the music scene. Sponsors: ACA, Intercultural Center, ASWC Public Events Featuring: (check out their music!) Wet Confetti (www.myspace.com/wetconfetti Mike Park (www.myspace.com/mikepark) Sanawon (www.myspace.com/sanawon) Description: Three indie bands that play to give voice to the often silent "model" minority by broadening the cookie cutter stereotypes often relegated to Asian Americans, and to inspire Asian youth to avoid assimilating to mainstream tendencies in their artistry by finding original ways to articulate their own unique cultural context and identities. Jenny Choi (Double Zero/Suburban Home Records) conceptualized the Asians In Rock (AIR) tour to kick off a celebration of Asians who revel in the indie rock subculture and are actively bringing innovative soundscapes to the forefront of what we consider today as American music. JAPANESE INTERNMENT AWARENESS PROJECT ~ About 60 years ago, Japanese Americans were interned in concentration camps. Two-thirds of these people were American citizens unjustly imprisoned in camps around the western United States. While the United States viewed this as a precautionary war measure in the aftermath of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, it was unconstitutional. To raise awareness about this injustice and to prevent it from happening again... 1) Instructions to All Persons of Japanese Ancestry- Poster campaign to raise awareness ==> to make those not imprisoned feel the pain experienced by so many citizens 2) Propaganda display in front of library 3) Display case about Japanese Internment in Library set up by Emi 4) Suitcase Display 5) Film about Internment at Tek 6) Paper Cranes ASIAN AMERICAN IDENTITY PROJECT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: (Updated 03/31/06) 1.
