Unpacking Asian/American Athleticism at “Legends”

At “Legends: Athleticism in Asian/American Art,” a group exhibition at the Godwin-Ternbach Museum at Queens College in Flushing (February 10 — May 14, 2026), the term athleticism became deliberately elastic.

Works by artists like Jocelyn Hu, Chinatown Basketball Club, Lanna Apisukh, Astria Suparak and Maia Chao allowed for interpretations that transcended the limited scope of achievement in order to examine how sports can signify embodiment, cultural expression, and everyday practice, proposing a more expansive framework for what athleticism can signify within Asian/American identity.
