Another Beautiful Country: Moving Images by Chinese American Artists, on view through April 21, 2024 at USC Pacific Asia Museum.
Another Beautiful Country: Moving Images By Chinese American Artists showcases ten artists whose work explores diverse ways immigrants and their families embody, imagine, and reciprocate intercultural experiences. The exhibition presents artworks as scenes of cross-cultural sharing and foregrounds fluctuating ideas of nationhood and belonging as portrayed by artists who identify as Chinese Americans. These artists confront subject positions of being both, while neither singularly, Chinese and (nor) American, revealing the nuance and multivalence of national categorizations. The exhibition features the work of Patty Chang, Jennifer Ling Datchuk, Richard Fung, Rania Ho, Andrew Thomas Huang, Simon Leung, Candice Lin, Vivian Wenli Lin, Charlene Liu, and Ken Lum.
