Collection: Current Exhibition - Finding Home: The Chinese American West

May 18, 2024, through September 5, 2027
Pamela Mayer Sculpture Hall

Finding Home honors, the Chinese immigrants of the American West. The exhibition touches on the history of racism and violence against the Chinese in America—specifically Tacoma’s exclusionary past—but it also offers artists’ views into Chinese immigrants finding a sense of home and hope. The exhibition will explore the spiritual, the mythical, and the laborious path of these seekers of the American dream in a counter-narrative to the conventional picture of America's history. Finding Home: The Chinese American West is part of the [re]Frame: Haub Family Collection of Western American Art project at Tacoma Art Museum. This exhibition is organized by Tacoma Art Museum and curated by Lele Barnett.
