Visiting Artist Lecture series presented by Cornish College of the Art's Art department:
A restaurant baby's exploration into the socio-political alignment of identity, Chinatowns and community as a means of nourishment, and ancestral love as a gift and a practice.
- FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC -
Monyee Chau (they/them) is an artist based on Coast Salish/ Duwamish land, and has graduated with a BFA from Cornish College of the Arts in 2018. They explore a journey of personal and collective healing through their lens as a queer Taiwanese/Chinese American, believing in the power of storytelling and breaking bread as a means of community building for the path to justice and liberation. Monyee’s work spans across mediums to speak to the multitude of themes of labor, diaspora, and collective community care. They invite audiences to be vulnerable as a response to their personal practice of healing and relationship in their practice.
