Resistance

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center presents Resistance, a visual arts exhibition as part of the 19th annual United States of Asian America Festival 2016. Curated by Pamela Ybañez, this group exhibition features multidisciplinary works of 11 Asian and Pacific Islander artists from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond exploring themes of gentrification, displacement, placemaking, and the artists role in the community through installation, performance, video, and more. Creating a space of expression, contemplation, and humanistic creativity, the exhibition strives to engage community members to feel empowered and arts communities in San Francisco, Oakland, and elsewhere to intersect in order to present possible solutions around the complex issues of displacement that artists and a multitude of others currently face.
