API Mythology and Folklore in "Tornkid"

In Spring 2019, the Baltimore Asian Pasifika Arts Collective (BAPAC), in partnership with Cohesion Theatre Company, produced Tornkid, an original play by NY-based playwright Katelynn Kenney. Tornkid draws on the power of Asian and Pacific mythology and folklore to explore identity and unearth how ancient female narratives can provide guidance towards healing our broken world. The AA&CC created these informational posters to give some background on the mythology and folklore that helped inspire Tornkid.

In spring 2015, the AA&CC presented the Japanese American National Museum's traveling exhibition of photographs by Kip Fulbeck and curated by master tattoo artist and author Takahiro Kitamura that explored the mastercraftsmanship and ongoing influence of traditional Japanese tattooing. With a unique display designed by Fulbeck to reference the craft’s roots in ukiyo-e and other Japanese art forms, the exhibition showcased both the splendor and the intricacy of modern tattooing. Listen to this audio tour of internationally-acclaimed Japanese-style tattoo artists talking about their works.
