Originally a deroga tory label derived from the Hawaiian word for half\, the word Hapa has bee n embraced as a term of pride by many whose mixed-race heritage includes A sian or Pacific Rim ancestry.\n\nFulbeck’s work seeks to address in word s and images the one question that Hapa are frequently asked: "What are yo u?" By pairing portraits of Hapa–unadorned by make-up\, jewelry\, and cl othing—along with their handwritten statements on who they are\, Fulbeck has produced powerful yet intimate expressions of beauty and identity. < em>kip fulbeck: part asian\, 100% hapa</em> is an artist's attempt to exp lore Hapa—who now number in the millions—and it offers a complex persp ective on an increasing reality of contemporary America.\n\nOrganized by t he Japanese American National Museum\, the exhibition was on display at JA NM from June 8\, 2006 through October 29\, 2006. \n\nKip Fulbeck is an a ward-winning photographer\, filmmaker\, writer\, and spoken-word artist wh ose work has been exhibited worldwide.
