The poem centers Asian women as its protagonists and asks what commonalities exist between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften underrepresented in museum collections and important exhibitions, Asian diasporic women and nonbinary artists are now receiving recognition; this book expands on two landmark shows of figurative art curated by Kathy Huang, organized in response to increasing anti-Asian racism and violence during the Covid-19 pandemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forty featured artists, each represented with four or more works and a personal statement, subvert stereotypes and assert their identities in places where they have historically been marginalized. While some featured artists explore identity through self-portraiture, others depict the heroines in their lives, offering works that highlight family, community, and history. Several of the works address colonial and patriarchal structures in the West, legends, and myths. With essays, paintings, sculptures, and drawings created within the last four years, this book is a current, open-ended collection of contemporary Asian diasporic experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathy Huang, Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander (Contribution by), Genny Lim (Contribution by)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli Electa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847845729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.67h x 8.52w x 1.05d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathy Huang\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent curator and Managing Director at Jeffrey Deitch. \u003cb\u003eGenny Lim\u003c\/b\u003e is an American poet, playwright, and performer. \u003cb\u003eAleesa Pitchamarn Alexander\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.\u003cb\u003e Delia Cai\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and author of the media and culture newsletter, \u003ci\u003eDeez Links\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cb\u003e Kevin Kwan\u003c\/b\u003e is a Singaporean-born American novelist and writer of satirical novels, including \u003ci\u003eCrazy Rich Asians\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eFariha R?is?n\u003c\/b\u003e is a multidisciplinary artist and writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130869289034,"sku":"9780847845729","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/8990\/4435\/files\/wonder-women-art-of-the-asian-diaspora-9780847845729.jpg?v=1748947323","url":"https:\/\/trnk-nyc.mom\/products\/wonder-women-art-of-the-asian-diaspora","provider":"TRNK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
