Memory as Epistemology: Threading Afro-Asian Histories through Intersectional Theory and Art Practice
Art Education, v76 n6 p48-56 2023
The histories between African American and Asian American communities have been both fraught with tension and interwoven with solidarities, as seen in the recent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in 2020, anti-Asian attacks, and the Stop Asian Hate movement. Afro--Asian tension is a symptom of systemic White supremacy, which constructs hierarchies and disparate manifestations of marginalization (Adams et al., 2016; Kraehe & Acuff, 2013). Although differently racialized, we form a cross-racial collaboration based on shared, intersectional, and intergenerationally inherited trauma and strength. Intersectionality as a concept guided our narrative construction and art practice, which may posit the possibility of BIPOC alliances in art education. In this article, we define allyship as an understanding of each other's minoritized experiences and an active support for the rights of said groups. We believe that forming allyships may lead to conceptualizing chains of action that could promote the rights of BIPOC as a whole.
