Smithsonian Project: We Are Here

National Museum of Asian Art

The Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art commissioned “We Are Here”, an interactive performance, installation, and composition to recognize the museum’s 100th birthday. To commemorate, we collected stories from the Asian American Community and supporters and visitors of the museum, to ask them to reflect on their memories of the stories they want to be represented, and to dream of the stories they want to be told in the next 100 years.

“Museums can be a symbol—they are places that hold stories. 
They show us the places we have been and how far we still have to go.
They show us we can embrace the hope of the future while accepting our histories.

What are the memories you cherish here?
What are the futures you want to create with us?
What stories do you want to be told?”
