\u201cOnly you get to identify who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Identity is a complex and ever-shifting concept\u2014difficult to fully grasp, and perhaps nearly impossible to pin down.<\/p>\n

To take us as close as we can to this profound question, we are honored to welcome internationally acclaimed artist and University of California, Santa Barbara professor, Kip Fulbeck. Join us for an inspiring encounter that promises to challenge assumptions and open new perspectives on what identity truly means.<\/p>\n

In this interactive workshop, participants will use their own photographs as a lens to explore and deepen their understanding of self. Alongside this, you\u2019ll experience thought-provoking presentations and intriguing exhibitions, that are set to spark new insights and even serve as true landmarks for your life journey!<\/p>\n

You can also preview the works in advance and further enrich your learning, at an exhibition at our ICC Lounge. Of course, you are always welcome to drop by out of simple curiosity.<\/p>\n

Why not take this chance to capture your authentic self\u2014through a portrait and words that come straight from your heart?<\/p>\n

We look forward to your participation!<\/p>\n

    The Hapa Project<\/a><\/p>\n

    Artist Kip Fulbeck created The Hapa Project in 2001, traveling the country to photograph over 1,200 volunteers who identified as Hapa. The Hapa Project\u2019s goal was to promote awareness and recognition of the millions of Hapas in the United States; to give voice to multiracial people and other previously ignored ethnic groups; to dispel myths around exoticism, hybrid superiority, and racial homogeneity; and to foster positive identity formation in multiracial children. In 2006, Fulbeck published the first book and premiered <\/span>kip fulbeck: part asian, 100% hapa<\/span><\/i><\/a>,<\/span> the first museum exhibition to explicitly explore Hapa identity. That exhibition remains one of the most popular in the history of the Japanese American National Museum, setting attendance records before traveling throughout the US and abroad. The exhibition broke new ground in exploring identity through photographic portraits of mixed-race subjects, paired with the participants\u2019 handwritten responses to the typically posed question, ‘What are you?'”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
