Happy Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month!
It’s critical that we work to not only celebrate the accomplishments of our Asian American and Pacific Islander ancestors, but to also preserve their contributions to society.
This weekend, I learned how to make archive folios to keep my father’s work in the best condition possible. A goal of this legacy project is to preserve and share the work and philosophy of Chen Lok Lee with aspiring young AAPI, immigrant and artists of color so that they can see themselves in his story, and feel inspired to keep creating art.
I wrote a grant this week to help support the costs of the archival and preservation process. Crossing fingers that we get the support!
