Installation of 11,111 as part of Last Year's Wonders All Surpassed
Yumi Janairo Roth and Emmanuel David’s collaborative research and practice examines the experiences of Filipino performers in Wild West shows of the late nineteenth century in connection with the Spanish-American and Philippine-American wars. Their collaborative artwork has been shown at the MCA Denver, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and Autry Museum of the American West. Related scholarship from the project has been published in Journal of Asian American Studies, and the project has been covered in New York Review of Books, GMA News, and regional and local papers where their Filipino Rough Riders projects have been realized. The project is part of the permanent collection at the Autry Museum of the American West and the Lunder Institute at the Colby College Museum of Art.
