Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center presents Passionate Engagement: The Art of Nancy Hom, a retrospective exhibition of visual artist Nancy Hom’s 45-year art career in San Francisco. Co-presented by Luggage Store Gallery, the exhibition runs from March 1-30, 2019 and features Hom™s iconic silkscreens, installations, and an evolving mandala installation that starts with her 2015 œSoul of San Francisco mandala that morphs into a new one by the last week of the show.
Hom will engage community members to make items for the new œEvolving San Francisco mandala, working with students from Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8 School in the Mission and senior residents of TODCO Development Company™s housing in the South of Market. Hom will transform the mandala with fresh, unique additions before each public program, creating a living installation that will change shape throughout the exhibition run.
Exhibition programs throughout the month will include an artist talk, a poetry reading by Hom accompanied by performances, and a panel discussion on our changing city and how it has impacted the lives of its long-time residents.
