Exhibition Reception for ‘Making Home: Artists and Immigration’

Join Asia Society Texas and meet featured artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya at a special reception for our newest exhibition, Making Home: Artists and Immigration. Phingbodhipakkiya will be creating a site-responsive mural during her time in Houston, and guests at the reception will have an opportunity to preview the work in progress.

The exhibition focuses on immigration and related themes through the works of Phung Huynh, Beili Liu, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, and Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya. It engages with the individual, lived experiences of immigration through the paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, and installations of the four featured artists. Making Home centers the complexities of deeply personal histories of immigration, as the artists consider topics of intergenerationality, the repercussions of colonial histories, dislocation, memory, otherness, belonging, and resilience.
