February 21^st, Thursday– Work Party for Revival

February 22^nd Friday– Today I met APALA members at the Wind Luke Museum; we explored the photo galleries, drawing inspiration and context for our traveling photo exhibit. What Seattle Asian stories are already told? What portion of the story will we tell, and how does it relate? And what are our formatting/gallery options?  Afterwards we gathered to discuss logistics. This week I’ll work on logistical aspects of the photo shooting: gallery sites, contacting photographers (Tien & Dean Won), and exploring formatting options. Additionally, I will be presenting our project at the Association of Asian American Studies on April 18^th through APALA.
