Chinese American Journey Exhibit Prototype

November 2023
 On June 29th, 2022, a bill was signed into law requiring Asian American (AAPI) history and culture to be taught in Rhode Island schools. This was due to the work and dedication of Asian American activists; AAPI history will no longer be taught as secondary to U.S. history but in fact embedded and entangled within it.

Beginning with a Chinese American Journey Exhibit, this pilot project is part of a much larger effort to create an AAPI History Museum. The traveling exhibit prototype acts as an opportunity to envision new realities and futures for AAPI groups.
