About Asianish
Asianish was founded in March 2018 by Maia Cruz Palileo, Sara Jimenez, Gabriel de Guzman, and Cecile Chong as a common space for people of Asian descent working in the field of visual art. Since then, Asianish has evolved into a growing network of artists, curators, writers, and cultural workers who gather through exhibitions, studio visits, public programs, meals, and informal conversations that foster solidarity, visibility, and exchange. They acknowledge the multi-racial, multi-ethnic identities shared and honor and respect different intersections. Asianish is interested in holding space for these hybridized identities that sometimes overlap and are also incredibly unique and specific to each individual. They recognize each other as invaluable resources for growth, strength, and wisdom. Through sharing practices, experiences, and ideas, Asianish intends to deepen connections individually and collectively to strengthen and support community within and beyond Asianish. @asianish2018
