'''Asian American Heritage Month 2006'''
''Diary of Asian America: You think you know, but you have no idea.''
The idea for our month’s month's theme came from the popular MTV show ''Diary'', which emerged as an invitation into the life of an artist, narrated first-hand, directly into the camera. Up close and personal, untraditional and uncut, the show gives viewers a perspective of an artist that is different from typical media portrayals.
This month is a celebration of Asian Americans as artists as well as an invitation to explore the different dimensions of Asian America through the sharing of unique talents and life experiences. Going beyond the stereotypical media portrayals of Asian America, we hope to highlight the lives and works of poets, musicians, filmmakers, corporate executives, journalists, and other artists, offering a closer look at the multi-dimensional and evolving nature of Asian America.
