We are inviting artists TJ Felix and S F Ho for an artist conversation, as part of The Living Room 2.0: Intimate Entanglements. The talk aims to critically examine the equity-promoting, accessibility-oriented mandates of non-profit public art galleries and the broader non-profit arts institutional infrastructure that supports them. On a secondary layer, the discussion will touch upon gentrification in Chinatown and the Downtown EastSide.
Organized and moderated by Hania Ilahi
