New Undergraduate Course Supplement 2022


ASCL 70.24 Asian American Art and Architecture

This course introduces students to the politics of Asian American identity and visual culture in the twentieth century. With an overview of social and legal contexts of Asian America, from immigration policies and residential exclusion to Japanese American internment to struggles over citizenship rights, the course explores what it meant to be Asian American and how Asian American art and architecture have emerged at specific historical moments. By discussing case studies including Japanese American internment camps, Chinatowns, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and works of artists and architects such as David Hyun, Yong Soon Min, Maya Lin, Poy Gum Lee, Isamu Noguchi, Yun Gee, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Mine Okubo, students are expected to examine how Asian American and diasporic artists strove to define their identity and imagine their place in the material world.
