Title: Mengxi "Althea" Rao Interview, May 14, 2020
Date: May 14, 2020
Creator: Mengxi "Althea" Rao; Naoko Wowsugi; Naoko Wowsugi
Description: Artist Althea Rao reflects upon the impact of COVID in her life, especially in relation to immigration issues she has been experiencing since August 2019. Althea is from China, and shares that COVID has not had too much of an impact on her because she's been experiencing many of the issues (unemployment, lack of healthcare, etc.) since the beginning of her problems with immigration. While on a day-to-day level her life has changed with new social distancing measures, she believes that her life has been in limbo for a long time, and she feels full of sympathy for those who are now feeling frustrated with their current situation. Because of her immigration issues, Althea shares that she has not felt the need to find something new to sustain her, but points to her long-term art project with local communities as a positive force. Althea discusses how COVID has impacted the relationship between China and the US, and has shaped the perception and experiences of Asian Americans. She ends by reflecting on how COVID has brought death closer to her and people throughout the world.
