Art history alumna is expanding access to Asian American art
American artists of Asian descent can experience pressure to identify as one or the other, or face criticism for being either "too American," "too Asian" or not enough of either.
As an assistant curator at the Art Bridges Foundation, University of Delaware alumna Julia Haein Mun is working to address that binary and expand the definition of "Asian American artist."
"So much of what museums present has a Eurocentric focus," she said. "We want to challenge those canons in art history and use the artwork in our collection to catalyze community engagement and programming."
