ART & CULTURE - FedEx Global Education Center Exhibit
Wed - Jul 01 -- Wed - Oct 07
July 1 - Oct. 31 kip fulbeck: part asian, 100% hapa 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. For this exhibition of portraits, artist Kip Fulbeck traveled the country photographing Hapa of all ages and walks of life. Once a derogatory label derived from the Hawaiian word for "half," the word Hapa has been embraced as a term of pride for many whose mixed-race heritage includes Asian or Pacific Rim ancestry. Fulbeck's work seeks to address in words and images the one question that Hapa are frequently asked: What are you? By pairing portraits of Hapa unadorned by make-up, jewelry and clothing along with their handwritten statements on who they are, Fulbeck has produced powerful yet intimate expressions of beauty and identity. "kip fulbeck: part asian, 100% hapa" is organized by the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, California. It is supported in part by the James Irvine Foundation and is part of the Global Education Distinguished Speakers Series. Visit http://www.global.unc.edu/index.php?option=com_mellocal&Itemid=36#274 for more information. |
