Abstract: The article focuses on addressing anti-Asian racism in the United States through arts-based teaching strategies in museum education, specifically at the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA). It outlines the historical roots of anti-Asian racism and highlights how art education, grounded in Asian critical theory (AsianCrit), can challenge stereotypes by cultivating antiracist visual literacy, presenting diverse visual counternarratives, and nurturing empathy through storytelling of lived A/AA (Asian and Asian American) experiences. The author emphasizes the importance of using museum resources beyond typical art materials to situate A/AA representations within broader sociohistorical contexts and encourages educators, particularly A/AA educators, to incorporate their identities and experiences as powerful tools for antiracist teaching. These strategies aim to foster more complex, humanized understandings of A/AA communities and contribute to a more inclusive art education. [Extracted from the article]
