Scott Tsuchitani

Scott Tsuchitani (he/they) is a San Francisco-based visual and media artist and feminist cultural studies scholar. Scott’s art practice-as-research explores how tactical public and online art intervention can transform racial common sense, with a focus on the public museum. His interventions have impacted racial discourse through the generation of dialogue and debate in social and mainstream media, as well as academic press. Scott’s work has been shown in museums and galleries in 12 states, presented in Europe and Asia, and published in academic books and journals in art history, museum studies, and Asian and Asian American studies such as Queering Contemporary Asian American Art; Routledge Companion to Museum Ethics; Asian America Through the Lens; Countervisions: Asian American Film Criticism; Japanese Americans: The Formation and Transformations of an Ethnic Group; and Buddhism in America. As a filmmaker, Scott has worked alongside Oscar and Emmy Award-winning filmmakers on transnational productions in Cambodia and South Korea, and his own documentary, Meeting at Tule Lake, has aired on national cable and regional PBS broadcast. Scott has a PhD in cultural studies and two master’s degrees in engineering. He began his professional life in the medical device industry where he co-authored patents on two critical care devices.
