The groundbreaking new exhibition “Without Apology: Asian American Selves, Memories, Futures” weaves together 30 artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries, created by more than twenty artists who self-identify as Asian American—including Tomie Arie, Mel Chin, An-my Lê, Hung Liu, and Shahzia Sikander—to explore the ways these artists express aspects of their identity through their work. Across several generations of artists, these works explore identity with pride, or through struggle, or by confronting the challenges of bridging the artists’ self-perceptions as Americans with how others sometimes perceive them. “Without Apology” opens December 14, 2023.
