Yi Cao July 13, But driven by the recent escalation of hateful aggression against Asians nationwide during the pandemic and by my own immigrant experience, I expanded my research into other departments, curious to look beyond the Arts of Asia in order to study the work, contemporary histories, and unique diasporas of other Asian American and Pacific Islander artists and to explore their lived experiences.

The Japanese American artist, born in , endured several years at an Idaho internment camp as a preschool-aged boy when his family was relocated from their home in Seattle.
After a brief stint in Chicago, where they had to move in order to be outside the West coast Japanese exclusion zone, his family eventually returned home. But his early experiences in the internment camps urged him to continuously return there—physically by traveling to Idaho and symbolically through his artistic exploration beginning in He grappled with this forced incarceration by visualizing scenes of daily camp life in a pocket-sized handmade book he created in One of the pages, shown above, is an all-black print.
