The Roots Unveiled celebrates Asian American heritage while addressing the rise in anti-Asian sentiment since the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative serves as a platform for storytelling and artistic expression, fostering a deeper understanding of identity, resilience, and resistance.
Bringing together artists like Haoyu Feng, Dr. Huan Li, Dr. Michael Wei, and June Xu, the project explores themes central to the Asian American experience through visual art, video, music and video. The artwork not only celebrates cultural heritage but also challenges stereotypes and addresses the marginalization of Asian American voices.
Roots Unveiled creates a space for artists to express their identities and share their stories with the community, emphasizing the importance of visibility and representation. By confronting misconceptions, the project fosters a more nuanced understanding of Asian American culture.
Supported by local artists, community leaders, and organizations such as Austin Chinese American Network, UCA, Humanity Texas, Roots Unveiled bridges art, advocacy, humanity and history, encouraging dialogue and connection. It amplifies Asian American voices while promoting cultural understanding and solidarity, showcasing the power of art to address social issues and inspire inclusivity.
Join us for the unveiling reception for Roots Unveiled in the Austin Central Library. Admission is free and all are welcome.
