Final Query Letter
Dear Ronit,
Hope all is well! It was very helpful to hear you speak in Sue Shapiro’s class at The New School the other day. Your work and passion for artistic journalism continues to inspire me.
Final Project: Goals, Approach, and Outcomes
In an effort to understand how minorities fit into the narrative of the creative industry, whether that be in editorial production, film, fashion, visual arts, or art business, my project primarily focuses on Asians in the creative industry.
With a compilation of film reviews (both critical and non-critical), interviews, profiles, query letters, and pitches, I have created a collection of pieces that attempt to unravel the complexities of being an Asian person with career ambitions in an artistic field. This theme holds news value because it is not something frequently discussed about within the media or general education. In an age of frequent conversations surrounding diversity, it’s important to consider those who are overshadowed by others in all aspects of society, especially within a creative field — an environment that is supposed to be inclusive, diverse, and progressive.
My approach to reporting this beat considered Asians of various backgrounds, using multimedia components in addition to traditional written pieces. In my original pitch, the focus of the project was Asian-Americans, but as I further explored the theme I realized how much more opportunity for interesting content and material was presented if I broadened my theme. The story angle frames the exclusivity of Asians in the creative industry, particularly in American culture, but also considering the reluctance of artistic encouragement within Asian communities as a legitimate career. The narrative also considers mental illness as it relates to Asian communities (as seen in my review of Kusama Infinity), unraveling the complexities of mental health within Asian communities as well.
As an Asian-American pursuing a career in an artistic field, this beat became significant for me throughout the semester on a personal level. The experiences I learned about through reporting this theme echoed some of my own struggles, which made the project more significant. Ultimately, my goal was to raise awareness towards a hushed conversation and create a larger understanding around the artistic and cultural struggles that accompany being an Asian pursuing a creative career.
MIDTERM PROJECT
A compilation of all assignments, research, interviews, observations relating to the multi-layered narrative of Asians in the creative industry.
Updated Query Letter
Query Letter to Honeysuckle Magazine: Pitching Kusama-Infinity Film Review
Good Morning Ronit,
KUSAMA-INFINITY: Draft #1
Layered with themes of artistic ambition, family disapproval, and cultural rejection, Kusama — Infinity tells a conventional narrative about a struggling artist in an unconventional manner. The film argues that Yayoi Kusama, the top-selling female artist in the world, is still underappreciated and her hardships are not widely understood.
Best known for her mirrored Infinity Rooms exhibits and colorful polka-dot-pumpkin-themed designs Kusama’s work has pushed artistic boundaries that isolated her from those in power in the art industry. The Magnolia Pictures documentary depicts an overcoming of the odds that prevented Kusama from being considered a serious artist — growing up in Japan during World War II, family discouragement towards her artistic ambitions, the stigma of mental illness in Japanese culture, and sexism and racism in the art industry. The film is currently playing in New York at the Film Forum and in Los Angeles at the Nuart Theater, and will premiere nationally throughout September.
In addition to focusing on biographical details and experiences, Kusama — Infinity also incorporates analysis of Kusama’s work, considering the inner and outer forces that affected her artistic visions to help viewers comprehend its significance. Kusama’s artwork spans across several forms including varying textures and styles of painting, sculpture, installation, poetry, and performance.
Since checking herself into a psychiatric hospital in Tokyo in 1977, Kusama continues to maximize her mental state for her art as she always has, infusing her work with her obsessive ideas, mediums, and patterns.
Kusama — Infinity shares not only the multi-layered struggles of an artist’s life, but the life of an female, immigrant artist whose primary inspiration is her state of mind, and the art she creates adapts alongside her mentality.
