Celebrating Asian Heritage
The Asian Reporter celebrates
Asian Heritage Month with this
special expanded issue and with our
May 15 issue covering The Asian
Reporter Foundation’s 19th Annual
Scholarship & Awards Banquet. In
this edition, we mark heritage month
with a look at Mele Murals, a docu-
mentary about the transformative
power of art through the unlikely
union of graffiti and ancient
Hawai‘ian culture. The film follows
the stories of two renowned street
artists, a group of Native Hawai‘ian
youth, and the rural community of
Waimea, and shows how public art
and Native Hawai‘ian traditions
affect the artists, students, and
community. The issue also highlights
Forever, Chinatown, a short film that
tells the story of unknown, self-
taught 81-year-old artist Frank
Wong, who has spent the past four
decades re-creating his fading
memories by building romantic,
extraordinarily detailed miniature
models of the San Francisco China-
town rooms of his youth. Finally, our
expanded events calendar provides a
monthlong guide to Asian art,
history, culture, and entertainment,
including the “Asian and Pacific
Islander Day at the Capitol”
celebration on May 20 in Salem,
Oregon; activities scheduled at the
Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland
and the Columbia Center for the Arts
in Hood River, Oregon during the
month of May; and more. Enjoy!
