Topic: The pressure on Asian American youth to assimilate and succeed in Western culture, academically, socially, and culturally.

 

Objective: To lessen expectation on Asian American children growing up to behave or live a certain way, from the perspectives of parents, the individuals, and the general public.

 

Goals: Allowing people with similar experiences in regards to my topic find solidarity through art.

 

Audience: Young Asian Americans and family members, people who wish to learn more about this facet/subset of culture.

 

Ideas:

• Including some sort of community oriented program focused on theatre, writing, and performance
• “Propaganda Posters”/political cartoons exposing the realities of this issue
• Short video
• Installation involving megaphones
• A collection of designs compiled in a zine deconstructing stereotypes
