"Feeling Lost California Enclaves: Relational Reconstructions of Asian Diaspora Survivals"

 

Through a series of artistic works and archival unpackings, artist/educator Jeffrey Yoo Warren will discuss his reconstructions of ancestral knowledge forms that survive anti-Asian terror -- including both physical and archival violences -- in California and beyond. Beginning with the virtual reconstructions he created during his Library of Congress residency, Yoo Warren will address how these projects led into unexpected multisensory encounters with community collections, digitized stereographs, traditional woodcraft, and eventually, new approaches to reconnecting with potential ancestors.
