About the Exhibit
Artist Reception: May 18, 2025, 12pm-3pm
An interdisciplinary project that combines traditional visual art with modern video storytelling to explore the Chinese American experience living in Texas. In addition to the curated still life compositions, Michael Wei, a prominent vlog artist, creates a compelling video series of Austin’s ten legendary Chinese Americans. This series will focus on the narratives of Chinese Texas immigrants since the 1800s, providing a dynamic timeline and multimedia perspective on their journey and contributions.
Thank you to project sponsors Asian American Art & Culture Initiative, Austin Chinese-American Network, Humanities Texas, and United Chinese Americans.
