The article discusses curator Kathy Huang's creation of the Wonder Women exhibitions and her upcoming book, which aim to showcase the artistic contributions of Asian women and nonbinary artists. These initiatives were sparked by conversations with artist Dominique Fung during the COVID-19 lockdown, particularly focusing on the surge in violence against Asian communities. Huang emphasizes the importance of representation, as past exhibitions often overlooked Asian artists. The exhibitions and book serve as vehicles to challenge stereotypes and honor the diverse narratives within the Asian diasporic community.
Huang's exhibitions and her new book highlight the spectrum of figurative work produced by Asian artists, especially women and nonbinary artists, responding to racism exacerbated by the pandemic.
The collaboration between Huang and Fung during the pandemic served as a critical response to violence against Asian communities and the need for representation in the art world.
