WOMEN我們: “From Her to Here” Chinese Cultural Center Art Exhibit

Submitted by the Event Organizer

WOMEN我們: From Her to Here is an art exhibition and series of public programs that explores agency and belonging in queer and feminist communities. On view at San Francisco’s Chinese Culture Center, the group exhibition, centered on Asian diasporic perspectives, features video and film works, mixed media installation, photography, painting, and more by a diverse array of LGBTQ+ and women artists and art collectives from the Bay Area, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and beyond. Several new works have been commissioned for this exhibition.

Bringing together artistic projects and archives from queer and feminist artists and activists, the exhibition affirms the importance of cultivating safe physical and psychological spaces as a way to preserve queer and feminist creativity and cultural growth.

It includes Bay Area filmmaker Madeleine Lim; New York-based spoken word performance artist and activist Brad Walrond; Bay Area-based Tina Takemoto, Chelsea Ryoko Wong, and Heesoo Kwon; Nicole Pun from Hong Kong; Yao Hong, Huang Mengwen, and Chen Han-Sheng from Taiwan; Beijing-based Luka Yuanyuan Yang; and the archives of the Queer Reads Library in collaboration with Mixed Rice Zines.
