Me
I was born in the City of Angels at Queen of Angels Hospital, a place that no longer exists. My identity is fluid and contextual. I am a father, partner, artist, curator, educator, non-profit worker, and a fighter for social justice. I am a minority and a majority. I am an Angelinx, a Californian, and an American. I am oppressed, and I am privileged. I am a product of Western imperialism and the result of the Chinese diaspora. I am the sum of everything that came before me. I agitate and subvert power structures; mostly as a means of social justice and resistance, but sometimes just for fun. I’ve been curating for almost a decade, and have been making art three times longer.
