Opening Reception: We Are Chinatown Art Exhibition
"We Are Chinatown: A Portrait of Our Community Rising Through Labor and Love" by Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya is a poignant exploration into the resilience, transformation, and enduring spirit of the Chinatown community. Created by the artist during her civic practice residency with Poster House, in partnership with Welcome to Chinatown, and presented by Pearl River Mart, this intimate offering presents a rich and multifaceted portrait of a neighborhood continuously evolving while deeply rooted in its history and cultural heritage.
Inspired by the Year of the Snake (a creature known for its cyclical shedding of skin to make room for renewal), "We Are Chinatown" reflects the ongoing transformation of the neighborhood. Like the snake, Chinatown continues to reinvents itself while preserving its essence. This installation serves as an homage to the community’s history and a celebration of its future, exploring how stories are passed down, communities rise through adversity, and resilience is interwoven with the fabric of place.
In every thread, image, object, "We Are Chinatown" depicts a neighborhood strengthening and renewing its cultural heartbeat. Through this work, Phingbodhipakkiya has penned a love letter of the collective strength and spirit of all who call Chinatown home.
Presented in collaboration with Welcome to Chinatown and Poster House. On view through April 20, 2025.
