History As Mixtape: Theo Gonzalves and Jeff Chang on Asian American Experiences
National Museum of Asian Art
asia.si.edu
In the hands of writers Theo Gonzalves and Jeff Chang, history isn’t a closed book—it’s a living playlist, one where protest and poetry blend with pop hooks, family heirlooms echo with collective grief, forgotten voices are dropped back into the mix, and the mic gets passed to those often left off the record. Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage curator Sojin Kim moderates this lively discussion about the award-winning publication Smithsonian Asian Pacific American History, Art, and Culture in 101 Objects, and we invite you to consider the mixtape of your own history.
