Besides Math Exhibit
Besides Math is an exhibition dedicated to providing a platform for young, second-generation Asian American artists where they can express their concerns, issues, and voices. Sponsored and curated by the Asian American Art & Culture Initiative, this open call exhibit highlights the rich, multifaceted narratives that define the Asian American experience, pushing back against the narrow image of being solely academically inclined or good at math.
The works reflect a diverse group of young artists through a variety of artistic expressions and addresses cultural identity, generational challenges, societal expectations and the personal struggles and triumphs of growing up as a second-generation immigrant. By giving voice to young artists, the hope is to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation of the varied experiences within the community and celebrate the power of art to break down barriers and build connections.
About the Asian American Art & Culture Initiative
Established by Houston artist June Xu, the Asian American Art & Culture Initiative was created as a platform where Asian Americans could authentically showcase their artistic work and amplify their voices.
