Re-Orienting is a group exhibition by eight NYC-based Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) artists exploring present identity, generational memory, and the vast, complicated ways of existing as Asian American individuals. Together, these works question the bounds of the categorical term "Asian American/AANHPI" while celebrating the depth of diversity it holds.

While Asian American diasporic stories are increasingly flattened or branded into stereotypical narratives, this project elevates our layered experiences of learning how to find and create home within ourselves. This show is our loving offering to gently add depth to 'stinky lunchbox traumas,' while rolling our eyes at recent waves of chinamaxxing.

The opening of Re-Orienting will be an intimate space to honor and sit with complex lived AANHPI stories - spanning colonization, queer joy, illiteracy, grief, evolving cultural symbols, and familial keepsakes. Through this, we hope to reflect a piece of you back to yourself or open your mind to an entirely new way of being.
