Artists of East Asian descent
OK. So don’t get me started on the “tick boxing” and categorisation of people.

Interestingly, categorisation seems to be a very human trait, I did some of my degree in this area of Experimental Psychology. Did you know that sheep dog farmers, show similar face recognition categorisation characteristics to naming their sheep dogs as “normal” people do in recognising human faces (adjusted for race/environment) ?
The short conclusion is that we probably don’t have a part of our brain devoted to just recognising human face but instead have a part of our brain which gets trained to be very good at recognising patterns such as faces.

I digress.
I wanted to link to this new resource
http://www.eastonline.org/ which is a database for artists of East Asian descent. Could be useful although still in its early days.
