Last night I went to an Asian Americans in Media panel at Barnard with two of my friends. I had taken a Music & Identity class last year at Kalamazoo College and we’d touched on Jin a little bit during the portion on Asian American music, so that was cool. It also sounded like a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed the panel overall. The panelists talked about not only their experiences in non-stereotypically Asian careers but also their experiences as being Asians and working in a musical genre (hip hop, electronic) that is associated with other racial groups. It was inspiring to hear from people who are really passionate about music and the arts, but at the same time it also makes me think about whether the arts and music programs in our schools are really reaching out to people like Jin, Dave Liang, Miss Info, !llmind, and Rik Cordero. Obviously, they were passionate about what they do from the start and were dedicated enough to make it a reality for themselves, but what about the kids who don’t? I didn’t get a chance to ask the panelists about their experiences in school music programs (if they had them/were involved in them), unfortunately.
Miss Info also talked a little about being a woman in the specific industry and that was really interesting to hear. I would have liked to know more about it; from the start I was struck by the ratio of men to women in the panel (4:1) and am wondering if this is a fair representation of the field.
One criticism is that it would have been nice to hear from panelists in other areas of the arts. However, I’m a music person so I was still satisfied!
Anyway, I’m really digging The Shanghai Restoration Project’s stuff now that it’s been brought to my attention, so have a YouTube. :) I’m all about genre blending and I love the mix of 1930s Shanghai jazz with electronic beats and hip hop.
Happy Arts Advocacy Day! (& also Happy Glee Day!)

We watched this (titled “A Vision of Students Today”) during this past Monday’s new technologies class (thanks, Dr. Frankel!) and I found it thoroughly thought-provoking. I don’t want to post my thoughts right off though lest they influence your preconceptions of the video prior to watching.
