Name Story Debut at Have You Eaten Exhibit

My Name Story project is a portrait-video project that explores the names of AAPI women identifying people at the intersection of race, ethnicity and gender. The project is debuting at the art exhibit called Have You Eaten* featuring 30 AAPI artists at Slip Gallery in Belltown. This exhibit is a multi-pronged investigation of the Asian diaspora relationship to identity, otherness, and belonging. Have You Eaten invites AAPI artists to share their unique stories and reflections on the complexities of their diasporic experiences.

My exhibit features 3 portraits and a quote from their video interviews as well as an under 10 minute audio preview.

The exhibit will be on display through February with the opening reception on January 13th, followed by exciting weekly events.

*The exhibit is named Have You Eaten to signify the love of our parents. Oftentimes in Asian cultures, parents don't say "I love you" so use food as a way to show love. Making sure we are fed and never hungry is an alternate way of saying "I love you."
