FIELD SESSIONS

In conjunction with the upcoming After Hope program at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, a series of bi-monthly virtual meetings were held in July - November 2020. Imagined as an international working group, these sessions acted as an informal space to meet, share ideas, learn about each other’s work, and have meaningful and engaged dialogue around art and hope at a time of dire need for social reconciliation and radical new visions.

Each weekly meeting focused on the work and practice of 5-10 artists as catalysts and guides for conversation. For more information on each session, please click on the images below.
