New JANM Exhibition Further Explores HAPA Identity

Artist Kip Fulbeck returns to the Japanese American National Museum with “hapa.me — 15 years of the hapa project,” which opened April 7 and will run through Oct. 28.

Fulbeck, who is Chinese on his mother’s side and English, Irish and Welsh on his father’s side, has been exploring the multiracial/multiethnic experience through the Hapa Project, which he created in 2001. The new exhibition is a follow-up to “kip fulbeck: part Asian, 100% hapa,” which was shown at JANM in 2006.
