"Gathering" Exhibition: FiveMyles Panel Discussion
The last program of the “Gathering” exhibition is a panel discussion led by Asianish co-founder, Gabriel de Guzman, with artists Joyce Yu-Jean Lee, Evgenia Kim, Julia Kwon, Tomo Mori, and Natalia Nakazawa. Each artist approaches anti-Asian hate in their work in a unique way. Their expression and processing of their experience is the topic of the panel.
“Gathering” highlights the relationships between forty-five Asianish artist members and their works at Tiger Strikes Asteroid–New York (TSA-NY) in Bushwick (Sat, June 24-Sun, July 30, 2023) and FiveMyles in Crown Heights (Sat, July 8-Sun, August 13, 2023), curated by Cecile Chong and Sophia Ma. Asianish is an informal social group for people of Asian descent working in the visual arts. Asianish assembles for connection, visibility, and a place for their experiences to be heard. This exhibition reveals the deep friendships between the artists and the intersections in their work.
