Yellow Terror: The Collections and Paintings of Roger Shimomura
Roger Shimomura is a Japanese-American artist whose work is provocative and challenges the viewers’ notions of history, ethnic images, popular culture and American ideals. His paintings tackle socio-political issues of Asian America and invite audiences to question their own and society's perceptions about race and culture. Along with paintings produced on the subject, this special exhibit features Shimomura's collection of ephemera as well as volumes of stereotypical images of Asian Pacific Islander Americans produced in many media. The exhibition is organized by the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle, Washington.
Recommended for fifth grade and older. The exhibition is available only through the Aesthetic Education Program.
