Q&A Transcript

The contributors to the SAH-Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum collaborative study, “Rediscovering AAPI Designers and Architects,” will summarize highlights of their white paper completed in November 2022, in discussion with curatorial
staff of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Each of the five teams will summarize their findings, with a specific focus upon an area of particular promise for collecting by the Cooper Hewitt. A moderated discussion will explore both overall
findings, as well as challenges and ways forward for the collection and exhibition of significant work in the United States by architects and designers of Asian descent.
