Art and Voices
Summer 2023 | New York
As a demonstration of camaraderie and unity, Civil Art collaborated with The Here and There Collective (API community-based non-profit) to feature 19 prominent API artists at Harper's Gallery. The exhibition features works of API artists whose thought-provoking works break the fetishized and homogenized view of the API identities to introduce a nuanced exposition of the Asian diaspora.
