Smithsonian APA 101 Objects

Smithsonian Asian Pacific American History, Art, and Culture in 101 Objects tells a story of Asian Pacific America history through object curation—from Kristi Yamaguchi’s Olympic costume to Ruby Ibarra’s Island Woman Rise jacket, from the ukulele to the yo-yo.

The book’s versatile 6-column grid holds eclectically-proportioned images and text blocks in a consistent design treatment throughout its 260 pages. The boldness of the headline font (Roc Grotesk Black) echoes the impact of these historically signficant objects.
