In Envisioning Diaspora: Asian American Visual Arts Collectives (Timezone 8 Limited
and project partner Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU) Alexandra Chang investigates
“Asian American Art” through the formation, membership and artwork of three important
post-’90s Asian American artist collectives: Godzilla: Asian American Art Network,
Godzookie and the Barnstormers. We see how the term began as an outgrowth of the
late ’60s civil rights movement, to its integration into mainstream multicultural discourse
and its legacy today. Envisioning Diaspora peers into the nuances of artist collective
formations and communities of affinity, and ultimately the core issues of identity politics,
aesthetics and diaspora involved in Asian American Art.
Alexandra Chang is the Director of Public Programs & Research Manager at the Asian/Pacific/
American Institute research center at NYU. She has curated exhibitions and written on
contemporary art, graffiti, design and architecture, including co-curating the current exhibition
“Art, Archives, and Activism: Martin Wong?s Downtown Crossings” at the 7th Floor Gallery at NYU
(Through Dec. 2009). She has served as the Managing Editor for Art Asia Pacific magazine and
Features Editor for amNew York.
