The second annual Asian Pacific Heritage Festival has been open in the month of May, and there are only a few days remaining to enjoy it. I am really impressed with the levels of care and detail that is apparent, and I’m looking forward to visiting again next year.

The shared environment is beautiful. “The Parade of Countries” is made up of 40 boats, decorated wonderfully, with clickable info about each country.

The area for the Street Fair Food has displays of cuisine represented, and clicking on little info signs will take you to the actual recipes on the web.

The music, party events, and discussion panels are over; online resources are still available. There is an area for art and photography, as well as a selection of SL Asian Pacific creator brands.

The bottom photo is of Javanese Wayang Kulit, an entertainment viewed at night. It’s by Marcel Mosswood, and has animated textures.

What is community? What does it mean to co-create with community?

What is community?

In general, community is a group of people who are together based on their interests, beliefs and so on. They share common interests and aspirations, and can provide a sense of belonging, identity and individual value.

A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with commonality such as place, norms, culture, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighbourhood) or in virtual space through communication platforms. Durable good relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community, important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions such as family, home, work, government, TV network, society, or humanity at large. Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties, "community" may also refer to large group affiliations such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities.Human communities may have intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, and risks in common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.

People who love enjoy the beach time can be a community; people who love dogs and cats can be a community, and for me, We came to the United States from China to study. we are far from our home, so for us, we have the same feeling inside our heart, we become a community. We met and discussed Chinese news and hot topics, and tried different foods from different places.

Also in museum field, people who love visit the museum can be a community. They go to different kinds of museums, learn the story behind each museum, share thoughts and opinions, it's a pleasure for them.

What does it mean to co-create with community?

When a community comes into a museum, they're different people, they have the same passion for the museum, but they all think differently. So for a community, they can offer different ideas to the museum. Maybe it leads to the co-create with community.

Co-creation is the practice of involving people in the making of anything a museum can produce: object interpretation, displays and exhibitions, educational resources, artworks, websites, tours, events, festivals – you name it, it can be co-created. The people involved might be individuals, or they might belong to a community group or to another organisation, but critically they are not part of the museum’s staff or governing structure. There are differences of opinion over who should initiate a co-created project. Some people believe for co-creation to be significant and genuinely meaningful, that it is the participants who should define the project’s goals, and not the museum. This guide takes a more pragmatic approach, and defines co- creation as any participative work undertaken with the community for the mutual benefit of all involved. Co-creation is sometimes referred to as co- curation, when talking specifically about exhibitions or programmes. For the purposes of this guide, the terms are used interchangeably.

Here is a "Co-creating Community Projects" about the museum.

As Cassie Chinn, Deputy Executive Director at the Wing Luke Asian Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, put it in a blog post for the Pew Center for Art & Heritage said: “Our desire is to know communities intimately. What breaks their hearts breaks ours, what fuels their passion fuels ours…It’s as if time spent in our exhibitions is time spent with someone else, person to person. And well, perhaps through the text panels, photographs, artifacts, documents, and multimedia installations—all of the stuff of exhibitions—in the end, that might be the best way to describe it: getting to know someone, meeting together, and creating something new.”

Netflix’s recent announcement of a $2.5 billion investment in its production of South Korean movies and television shows is only the latest data point to suggest that Asia is a rising content giant—and Seoul sits at the center of it all.

The Netflix outlay—twice what it has plowed into the Korean market since 2016—came just before Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which kicked off May 1. Asian content and entertainers of Asian descent are enjoying their highest profile in the United States since the month was first celebrated in 1992.

The historic showing at the Academy Awards in March—seven wins for Everything Everywhere All at Once, including actors Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, and two Oscars for Indian films—represents a breakthrough moment. This builds on the cultural phenomenon of the South Korean show Squid Game, which took over Halloween costume parties last year, as well as Parasite, which won several Oscars in 2020.

Entertainment is a trend-driven industry, and it’s easy to write off the success of Korean content as a potent but passing fad. Other foreign-produced content has had its moment in the American sun and then faded. What sets South Korea apart from many other countries its size, and its neighbors in Asia, has been its relentless focus on foreign markets and its ability to produce multiple types of successful entertainment content—music, film, TV shows, and games—for those markets. Only South Korean literature has yet to join the party, and that may be coming. South Korean novels that have been translated into English, such as Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 and Please Look After Mom, a Man Asian Literary Prize winner, have started to focus global attention on Korean authors.

There are some specific reasons the South Korean entertainment industry has prospered overseas. First, it is a tough crucible. If Korean audiences don’t like a new film, TV show, or song, it will die a quick and merciless death. The domestic competition among entertainment companies is intense.

Korean audiences demand high-quality content, high production values, and a constant stream of fresh product. Unlike in the United States, where successful TV shows span multiple seasons and spawn franchises, it is rare for even hit shows in South Korea to last for more than one season. Writers are restless and want to move on to new projects, and so do audiences.

South Korea’s size has something to do with its constant cycle of creation and improvement. With just 52 million people in the Korean market, entertainment companies’ growth depends on creating movies, TV shows, and music that will fare well internationally. As a wealthy country that has prioritized content creation as an economic engine, in some ways the Korean entertainment industry has become too big to be contained within national borders. At the same time, the Korean domestic market acts like a shark tank as companies battle for a limited number of entertainment dollars. These factors combine to create high-quality, ready-to-export content.

This constant pressure guarantees a pipeline of high-quality shows and movies at a pace most other countries haven’t matched. For example, four of the eight-most watched non-English Netflix series of all time are South Korean. South Korea is a perpetual content engine tuned to the latest societal issues of our times. It’s also worth noting that South Korea has made the entertainment industry a national priority, in terms of seed funding, establishing numerous international film festivals and teaching filmmaking in schools, and the industry treats behind-the-scenes production staff as importantly as stars.

Culturally, South Korea is like a petri dish of innovation for many industries. The cycle of consumer trial, adoption, and failure or success is accelerated to warp speed because of the country’s dense population, global orientation, and fast internet. (South Korea was the first nation to roll out wide-scale commercial 5G service.)

There is a relentless appetite for something new that has led South Korea to be a preferred testbed for technology companies, luxury brands, and co-working with robots. “If any trend is going to move from overseas to the U.S., I would put South Korea at the front of the line in terms of who is likeliest to be that springboard,” Andrew Wallenstein, the president of Variety Intelligence Platform, told the New York Times.

Second, despite what American audiences may understandably think, K-content did not come out of nowhere. The United States is only the most recent market to embrace it. One of South Korea’s first big entertainment exports was the TV series Winter Sonata, which became a hit in Japan and the Philippines in the early 2000s, generating a wave across Asia that Korean dramas and films rode.

K-pop expanded its footprint beginning in the mid-2000s from Asia to Latin America and Europe, propelled by social media. According to Twitter data, the top five countries of origin of K-pop tweets are Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and the United States. In fact, research by the AMPD group showed Korean content ranking first or second in every Southeast Asian country as measured by premium content by country of origin in 2022, besting Hollywood and even local-language content.

Much has been said about the diversity of American K-pop fans. Indeed, last year’s KCON, the annual K-culture festival sponsored by my firm, CJ ENM, in Los Angeles, drew about 100,000 fans—and only about 20 percent of them were ethnically Korean. In 2022, 60 percent of Netflix’s 221 million subscribers watched Korean content, and even this week, the Korean series Black Knight features on Netflix’s list of most watched non-English shows (with South Korea’s Dr. Cha in second place). The streaming services’ algorithms that curate shows don’t think in terms of geographic boundaries, so they surface high-quality, popular content regardless of country of origin.

By their increasing size, audiences have demonstrated that the storylines of K-dramas are universal. Even a Korean film that looked inaccessible to Western audiences—set in the hidden neighborhoods of Seoul and featuring a cast largely unknown to English-language moviegoers—hit on universal themes of class struggle, greed, and justice, all with a dash of caper and horror. This is why Parasite grossed $260 million worldwide. Korean content creators—much like Korean automakers and smartphone producers—are outwardly focused on global trends and the social zeitgeist. Director Bong Joon-ho tapped into the brewing cross-cultural anxiety over wealth inequality that drove the film’s core connection with global audiences. And, as CJ Group Vice Chairwoman Miky Lee said during her Oscar acceptance speech, “I really, really, really want to thank our Korean film audience … [who] never hesitated to give us straightforward opinions.”

Action movies look different today than they did 20 years ago. But their popularity endures. Likewise, K-content—with a strong international base and a constant cycle of creation and improvement—will continue to resonate with global audiences. It takes time and money to establish a high-quality entertainment industry, but digital technology and social media have lowered some key barriers to entry for production and distribution. Every country has distinct cultural forces at work within it, but South Korea’s success at creating broadly appealing music, movies, and TV series and engaging online with fans around the world could well be a template for other countries seeking to make their mark on the global stage.

小池宋杨万里泉眼无声惜细流，树阴照水爱晴柔。小荷才露尖尖角，早有蜻蜓立上头。

This is a special picture based of a poem Xiao Chi (A little Pool) by Yang Wanli for the Asian Pacific Heritage Festival - Art Exhibition. It depicts a beautiful summer’s day where a spring water is quietly creating a streamlet, shadows of trees reflect in the water, several lotus leaves and a lovely dragonfly under the soft sunlight. It forms a lively picture of a little pool, showing a harmonious relationship among things in nature. I wanted to show that thorugh my picture with delicate tones and feelings of relaxation.

I also wanted to use this poem, because it reminded me a lot when I first visited Beijing and I saw blue dragonflies for the very first time. It was really a spectacular sight amongst the Lotus flowers and I remembered how much I enjoyed being there. That is why this picture is close to my heart, and I hope to show everyone the beauty of China within this and the tranquility I felt being there.

Feel free to visit the gallery inworld too, along with many other creatives.

https://baltimore-members.naaap.org/.../second-thursdays...

Food and Drink

During our meet-ups, we are typically in a restaurant and guests support the business by purchasing food and drinks. For this special meet-up, we will support a local business and bring their cuisine into the gallery space.

The Asia North 2024 exhibition, Love Letters to Baltimore + the DMV, centers themes of love and home. When someone asks you the question, “Where are you from?” how do you respond? If Baltimore/DMV is not your original home, what are some of the differences between where you are from and where live now? What does home mean for you? How do you respond to your home? Do you look at your home with loving eyes? Do you look at your home with tough love? Does your love and/or tough love for home allow you to see, or hear, or feel, or experience ways to enjoy your home, or motivate you to make your home a better place to live and thrive?

The Asian Arts & Culture Center and Central Baltimore Partnership co-produce the Annual Asia North Exhibition and Festival.

Questions: Robbin Lee ([email protected])

Modern Sites for Fetishization: Dating

I encourage you to watch the whole film, but in relation to this post, go to timestamp 5:32 to hear real audios of men trying to hit on Kyoko.

Dating is a modern example of how the fetishization of Asian American and Pacific Islander women continues today.

Jessica Kwon- Michigan Daily

Jessica Kwon is a journalist for the Michigan Daily. In 2020 she wrote a piece about her experience as an East-Asian woman on Tinder. She describes her past experiences on Tinder where men have fetishized her because of her race. They seem to only like her because she is Asian, and make their pursuits all about her heritage. She describes that at the time of writing this article, she hasn't had any recent experiences like that luckily. But for her and dating, race is always a question. She doesn't want someone to just date her for her race. She wants someone who can appreciate her differences but not make a spectacle out of them as men have done in the past.

Seeing my heritage, my proud history, my rich culture, my parents’ sacrifices and my people’s constant struggle reduced and watered down to one man’s “idk something bout yall just does it for me” makes me feel sick” “I have been super-liked by a man with 'free match if your asian' in his bio. Non-Asian men proudly text me 'i like me a asian girl' with heart-eye emojis or “tbh i prefer asians to white girls” as if they’re civil rights heroes"

Christina Huynh- Elite Daily

Christina Huynh is a journalist for Elite Daily. She too expresses similar experiences as Kwon where men have pursued her because of her race. She expresses that she just wants someone who isn't after her just because of her race. She expresses though that in a way, dating apps give her some autonomy because she can decide who to match with or not. So she can filter out the men who fetishize her easily.

“My friends of different races had the same reaction: 'People love Asian girls' — like that was enough to explain away being objectified. 'It’s just how it is,' they said. But that perspective was part of the problem, wasn’t it?” “I’m simply looking for people who are interested in me for who I am and not the idea of who they think I should be”

Race becomes a question for these women because of the history of fetishization of Asian American and Pacific islander women. Why do these men only want Asian women? Because of the stereotypical portrayals of ourselves historically and presently.
