Description

Which celebrity do you most resemble? For artist Kip Fulbeck, this question starts a rollicking ride that is part autobiography, part family portrait, part pop-culture survey, and all Disney* all the time. Watch as Fulbeck documents his uncanny resemblance to Pochahontas, Mulan, Aladdin, and other "ethnically ambiguous" animated characters. Both hilarious and touching, this educating video examines the muting of race in mainstream media and its effects on multiracial Americans. *Disney is a registered trademark of Disney Enterprises, Inc.

About Kip Fulbeck

Kip Fulbeck is a performance and video artist based in southern California. From a Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh background, he explores the Asian male experience through humorous and angry autobiographical stories. Fulbeck confronts media imagery of Asian men, interracial dating, and icons of race and sex in the United States, continually questioning where Hapas (people of mixed race with Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry) belong in a country that ignores multiraciality.
