The Exhibit

November 2022

This series of works critique art institutions and calls into question the way marginalised artists (in these works, specifically Asian American/Canadian) are expected to perform our identities in our artwork. What stories are we expected to tell? What do audiences expect from us? In speaking about racial and cultural identity, who decides what stories and aesthetics are the most "authentic"? What is "Asian American art" *supposed* to look like?

In these works I reflect on how many exhibitions designed specifically to center artists of colour can further marginalise us, putting us and our existiences into the same boxes over and over, if they are not curated critically.
