ABOUT

Wildest Dreams, is an ode to our ancestors and the labor they invested in dreaming and manifesting a life that might be possible. It is a celebration that we - in this day and time, despite what is going on in the world, or perhaps especially with what is going on in the world - are our ancestors' wildest dreams. Only in their dreams could their future ancestors have the access, privilege, choice, knowledge, and resources that we have today. This is for their sacrifice, their perseverance, their courage, and their audacity to want more for us. This show is for them. 

Wildest Dreams is the sister show to Have You Eaten - an aanhpi group art show exploring themes of belonging, home, and identity; asking what it means to be asian and american, what it means to be from here, but also not. What it means to be other and still find belonging. So many resonated with the Have You Eaten exhibit, despite not identifying as aanhpi. That's where Wildest Dreams comes in. A lot of what folks resonated with from Have You Eaten is the immigrant experience. Wildest Dreams is an opportunity to more intentionally tell that story and invite a wider audience to participate, therefore opening it up to immigrants, children of immigrants, and grandchildren of immigrants. The show will take place September 7th - 26th, 2024 in Bothell, WA.  

We welcome submissions from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation artists working in various mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and more. We look forward to receiving your submission and sharing your unique stories and experiences with the broader community.

Showing during the month of September in Bothell, WA.
