This panel features scholars with new approaches to Asian American art and literary archives. From the editors of Aiiieeeee! to scholars such as literary critic Floyd Cheung and art historian Alexandra Chang, there has long been a movement to recuperate and recover Asian American literature and culture. Our interdisciplinary panel builds on this body of work by rethinking well-known archival figures and texts, while also presenting new "archives," broadly conceived, that shed light on hitherto underexplored artists, writers, and community formations. Across our papers, we offer directions for thinking about theoretical and affect-driven approaches to canonical texts and writers like Sui Sin Far; reconceptualize the importance of collectivity and community networks in the history of Asian American art and literature, from older networks like Godzilla: Asian American Art Network and Basement Workshop to recent ones like Kundiman; and share new public and digital humanities projects that hope to become archival resources for future scholars, students, and teachers. In conversation across multiple disciplines and approaches, our papers collectively ask: How do we illuminate important linkages between past and present, and recover the important work of communities and individuals? What new sociological methods or theoretical models might we draw on to document and archive Asian American culture, including oral history interviews or ethnography? And how can we share these new archival histories, in public exhibitions or in digital forms?
