hapa.me – 25 years of The Hapa Project
Artist and author Kip Fulbeck started The Hapa Project in 2001, photographing over 1,200 individuals who identified as multiracial, including their handwritten response to the question, “What are you?” This exhibit features Fulbeck’s photographic portraits as he revisits the cultural and artistic significance of the work, its impact on the participants, and the changing awareness of multiracial identity in the United States. Nearly 25 years later, Fulbeck has re-photographed 130 of the original participants and asked them to write new personal statements, exploring how our self-definitions and perspectives change over time. This exhibit is included with your Balboa Park Explorer Pass.
