🌻Happy Summer🌻 I am very happy to invite you for our group exhibition opening in NYC!!! This exhibition means to me a lot. Since 2020, we had to go through rough time, Pandemic and Asian hate.

We are fortunate to have been able to continue working as artists throughout the pandemic. For this exhibition, we would like to present our “sentiment” works. Each artist stepped into a deeper level of mind and examination to create their works. All participating artists are of Asian heritage and have unique points of view, respectively. These complex heritage and cultural backgrounds allow each artist to create artworks through the lens of their individual, and culturally collective, layers of thoughts and sentiments. – Sophia Chizuco ⭐️This exhibition is also on FLATFILE Gallery

NARS Foundation in collaboration with J&M studios is pleased to introduce We Become Present, an exhibition showcasing the works of artists working at the #201 building on 46th street in Sunset Park Brooklyn. We Become Present centers the attention on works that were created during the pandemic - a time filled with grief, tension, despair and uncertainty. For the artists in this exhibition, a way to cope with world events has been through their artistic practice. Some have focused on the healing processes and refuge present in nature, looking at its cycles and repetitive actions. Others have created pieces that are meant to be activated - by movement, sound or as a form of protest. Several have used their art making to create their own hybrid spaces and fantastic worlds. The studio space has become a shelter, but also a space for transformation and for recording the passage of time. Either as a continuation of their previous works or as a window to new explorations, these pieces can be read as coping methods, occasions to reach for connection, safe spaces and continuous reaffirmations of a self, existing today. ⭐️Ongoing exhibition USPS Art project 4/24/21 - 7/3/21 (extended!)
