Teachers joined the Committee for Teaching About Asia (CTA) for CTA Day 2024 – Stories of Asian Art: In Consideration of a Decolonial Narrative. This year, we headed to the Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM) to hear the stories of the SAAM collection and the curatorial decisions behind the make-up of the collection through a decolonized lens. The program was led by Yaoyao Liu, Manager of School & Educator Programs, Seattle Art Museum; Lauren Kent, Seattle-based artist and arts educator; and Melanie King, Art Historian and East Asia Resource Center Program Leader.
