Each May, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is celebrated in the United States, recognizing the many contributions the peoples of Asia and the Pacific Islands have made to the richness of our cultural, historical, and social fabric. Art and artistic traditions from Asia and the Pacific deserve particular attention given how these cultures have left an indelible mark on our shared human experience, both then and now. Although we can’t explore the full depths of Asian American and Pacific Islander history and culture in this journal alone, we invite you to join us as we explore the origins of AAPI Heritage Month, how Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders continue to impact and influence art and culture, and browse resources to help better put AAPI history into its proper context. Whether you're celebrating for the first time, or have been part of the community many times over, we look forward to you joining this moment of celebration and learning. The History
