ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
If you had a place of your own, what would it be? A group visual art exhibition featuring 20 assemblage artworks that showcase the vibrant dreams and hopes of women presented by Asian American Women Artists Association (AAWAA) as part of 19th API Cultural Center's United States of Asian America Festival 2016. Curators Maggie Yee and Cynthia Tom, driven by an abiding passion to spotlight issues facing Asian American women, have developed artistic forums to heal, transform, and inform. Leading up to this exhibition, Tom facilitated a series of workshops based on intuitive art practices and meditation that inspired the art. Audiences have the opportunity to tap into their inner wisdom and personal strengths through hands-on art-making with three intuitive, self-guided art-making workstations.
