This exhibition explores the role music has played in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander lives & communities as an element of cultural heritage/identity, a form of personal/creative expression, a commercial industry, a connecting/healing force, and an integral part of thriving communities and culture.

The interactive exhibit includes behind the scenes-photos, framed artworks, podcasts, artifacts, storylines, audio, and video that feature Asian artists’ expressions of cultural identity.

Sound Check! The Music We Make reflects the Wing Luke Museum’s mission to highlight stories from the Asian American experience while connecting the community to the dynamic history, cultures and art of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders through vivid storytelling and inspiring experiences to advance racial and social equity.
