SUMMARY:Besides Math Exhibit
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nThe 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.\n\n
