THE RECLAIMING OF
WORDS AND IDEAS
How Art & Activism Can Change the World
GROWING PAINS
Being forced to shed my heritage...
TURNING INTO JACKIE...
...because we really look alike (not)
STARTING THE SLANTS
LOOKING FOR ASIANS
The first time I was called a racist for this band...but not the last.
GOAL: MELT FACES
THE WORLD OF ANIME CONS
A celebration of Asian culture?
& AROUND THE WORLD
THE SLANTS VS. THE USPTO
The second time I was called a racist...
ANYONE BUT ASIANS
WHEN IN DOUBT, MAKE NOISE
OTHER PHRASES EMBRACED...
OTHERS IN THE ARTS
MORE THAN JUST RACE
FLIPPING THE SCRIPT ELSEWHERE...
WHEN IT IS SUCCESSFUL...
• A transfer of power occurs • Individuals or groups can be
empowered • Can be a mark of fellowship, unity, and
brotherhood • A definition or perception may change
RULES OF RECLAIMING?
• Only Targets of an epithet can reclaim or “own” something • Intent/Context Matters • Irony/Satire/Sarcasm to exploit
disparity or stereotypes • Still problematic...
QUESTIONS?
