Portraits of New York Chinatown
Artist
Tomie Arai
A collaborative community-based arts project led by artist Tomie Arai, “Portraits” will open a public lens into diverse cultures, shifting boundaries and gentrification. This is a continuation of the AWGC-supported project “Archeology of Change,” in which Arai conducted 27 interviews about neighborhood gentrification. She will conduct 12 new interviews and explore community participation in this project, including inviting the public to bring objects from their personal collections. The project culminates in a mounted exhibition in the MOCA galleries.
