ACES // Artists of Color Expo & Symposium is a BIPOC-led, community-curated program featuring art exhibits, live performances, presentations, workshops, film screenings, artist talks, artist opportunity tables and art market. We are coming together with intentionality to value our work and see one another as resources, while focusing on the challenges and solutions we face as artists of color in the Pacific Northwest.
ACES 2023 is a hybrid event, presented online and in person.
As a nomad artist, Ai-Chun freely uses different materials for experiments, and makes best use of the resources onsite and on the moment. She has 10 years traditional painting training experience from sketch to acrylic paintings. She uses Taiwanese culture background as very important roots for her art practice. Like her artworks "the holy mountain", she was inspired from her life experience from a limited social expectations. She sees those Asian cultural images as very important elements in her metaphor, and she will keep extracting from her child memories, and looking back what she came from, and where she is standing now.
