“Journey-scapes” invites contemporary Asian American artists to explore concepts of adventure and travel of the internal and external through physical, cultural, mental, spiritual and emotional landscapes or dreamscapes. Often these journeys may be self imposed, requiring us to draw on our curiosity, courage, mettle, conviction, innovation, perseverance, dedication and faith, but also a whole lot of resourcefulness and audacity to survive environments unknown and familiar. We see this travail through symbolic systems, myths and structures - as explicit as Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, or the Creative Process itself - where an individual must withstand the elements, obstacles and struggles to return full circle, though battered and bruised, coming away with something that has changed him/her for the better - and so it goes also for the Asian American experience of identity, self, relevance and struggle for voice.
