In partnership with APIC Spokane, with the support of the Amplifying Community Stories grant, artists Margaret Albaugh and Frances Grace Mortel share visual narratives that amplify Asian American community stories. They are joined by another Asian American artist, Remelisa Cullitan, displaying their work series, A Life of Rice and Bread.
Through their diasporic lens, they examine the unseen – the complexities of cultural identity hidden in visible spaces.
Indivisible (photography, Margaret Albaugh) explores racism on a human level, allowing participants to explore identity development. Intimate portraits reveal vulnerable but strong individuals whose lives have been shaped in one way or another by racism. margaretalbaugh.com/indivisible
Diaspora Recipes (multimedia, Frances Grace Mortel) takes a closer look at the intersections of food culture, migration, colonization, and identity. It follows two Asian American women as they talk about their journey and passion for food and cuisines while navigating the challenges of integration in the US. mortelmedia.com/diaspora-recipes
A Life of Rice and Bread (mixed media, Remelisa Cullitan) shares personal visual narratives shaped by repetitive conversations and stereotypes. Examples of biracial erasure, a separation of self-identity and forced expectations of performance, and never feeling like one or the other.
