"Now You See Me" is a group exhibition that brings together six artists - Jerry Takigawa, Priya Kambli, Tommy Kha, Jennifer Ling Datchuk, Leonard Suryajaya, and Tomiko Jones - who offer a glimpse into the vast complexity and nuance of Asian America.
While diverse in scope, works in the show share a common thread: an urge to be seen and recognized through personal narratives put forth on one’s own terms - all set against the back-drop of a country that didn’t coin the phrase ‘Asian American’ until 1968, and a country that continues to overlook Asian Americans in the public sphere. "Now You See Me" pushes for the inclusion of each artist’s voice - alongside those of countless other Asian American and minority creatives - into the American canon.
The exhibition will remain on display through November 13.
