This New Generation of Asian Youth Is Creating Ceramic Art for the Diaspora

Meet three up-and-coming Asian artists using pottery to fill in the cracks of their cultural identity

Delving into these complex questions are young artists of Asian descent like Catalina Cheng, Hannah Lim, and Joey Yu, who are exploring their heritage by creating contemporary art inspired by classic Chinese porcelain. Research shows porcelain was first created during the Tang dynasty, between 618–907 A.D., and the pieces most closely resembling today’s iconic versions emerged in the 13th and 14th centuries. Taking cues from the art form’s historical roots in visual metaphor and allegory, these modern interpretations of the centuries-old craft have unique meaning in themselves. Upon closer inspection, these vessels are colorfully imbued with sentimental facets depicting each artist’s own diasporic experience, existing as nods to their equally vibrant predecessors while also establishing a distinct footprint of their own.

In May 1939, as the Nazis were tightening their chokehold on Europe, the United States government rejected the SS St. Louis, a German passenger vessel carrying 937 refugees who were trying to dock at the Port of Miami.

Almost all of those refugees were Jews fleeing violence in Germany and Eastern Europe, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The ship was eventually forced to return to Europe, where 254 of its passengers were killed.

On Friday, to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a pair of Jewish scholars — Russel Neiss and Charlie Schwartz — started tweeting the names of the people who were aboard the SS St. Louis, under the handle @Stl_Manifest. Read more

It is a restless moment. She has kept her head lowered…to give him a chance to come closer. But he could not, for lack of courage. She turns and walks away.
