Once a derogatory label derived from the Hawai'ian word for "half," hapa has now been embraced as a term of pride by individuals of partial Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry. Artist Kip Fulbeck began The Hapa Project in 2001, photographing over 1200 volunteer subjects and giving them the opportunity to self-designate their ethnic heritage and individually handwrite their response to the question, "What are you?" The result is an amazing array of diversity, humor, pain and eye-opening honesty...a vivid portrait of 21st-century America. This exhibit is on display in Gallery 360 from February 16 until March 26, 2010. The Hapa Project is sponsored by the Asian American Center, with support from the Office for Student Affairs.
