Difference and Diaspora: Transnational Asian Identity in Art
About
Join Dr. Alden Sajor Marte-Wood, Assistant Professor of English at Rice University, for a panel discussion with artists Anh Hà Bùi, Matt Manalo, Diane Severin Nguyen, and Preetika Rajgariah about transnational Asian identity formation and representation.
The contours of Asian diasporic experiences remain defined by myriad transnational crossings—at once social, political, and economic, but also, aesthetic. What are the various ways artists are addressing questions of transnational Asian identity in their work? What is the relationship between identity formation and visual culture? Dr. Alden Sajor Marte-Wood is joined by current exhibition artist Diane Severin Nguyen and local Houston artists Anh Hà Bùi, Matt Manalo, and Preetika Rajgariah for a panel discussion on the relationship between their respective art practices and the Asian diasporic experience in Texas.
This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, Diane Severin Nguyen: IF REVOLUTION IS A SICKNESS, and Diane Severin Nguyen’s first public art commission, Not in this life (2023).
