AAPI Heritage Month Celebration
USC Pacific Asia Museum
Sat, May 18, 2024 11:00am
On Saturday, May 18, the museum is hosting a family-friendly celebration in honor of its new mural, "A Momentous Moment in Time of Passage and Landing," created by artist Dave Young Kim. The event will feature cultural dances and performances, crafts, food trucks, an artist talk, and more.
Artist Dave Young Kim's mural for USC PAM visually encapsulates the profound impact of migration from Asia and the Pacific Islands in shaping the distinctive cultural fabric of Los Angeles. The mural portrays 41 birds in harmonious flight, each representing a sovereign Asian or Pacific Islander nation and its official national bird. The collective imagery symbolizes the universal search for home, a commonality that connects all humankind and all species.
