Abstract
This essay explores the specific artworks of Asian American artists Tomie Arai and Flo Oy Wong as complex articulations between culture, identity, history, and memory. Based on oral history interviews that were integral parts of their artistic processes, Arai and Wong created works that explored the family histories and memories of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans living in New York City’s Chinatown and California. Their artworks open up a space to explore memory as a way of knowing that is shaped not only by what is said, but more importantly by what is not said—by silences and secrets.
本文探讨了亚裔美国艺术家荒井智美（Tomie Arai）和王菲（Flo Oy Wong）的具体艺术作品，它们是文化、身份、历史和记忆之间的复杂表达。Arai和Wong基于口述历史访谈，这些访谈是他们艺术过程中不可或缺的一部分，他们创作了探索亚裔移民和居住在纽约唐人街和加利福尼亚州的亚裔美国人的家族历史和记忆的作品。他们的作品开辟了一个探索记忆的空间，作为一种了解记忆的方式，记忆不仅是由所说的东西塑造的，更重要的是由未说的东西——由沉默和秘密塑造的。
