The Roosevelt Island Daily News
According to the Li Tang Community
Echoes of Home is a celebration featuring twenty-seven Asian artists from the Li Tang community. Through an array of paintings, photography, sculptures, and cutting-edge digital art, this exhibition unfolds a dialogue exploring the realms of identity, innovation, and unity.
Spanning from the vibrant streets of New York City to the glamorous landscapes of Los Angeles, and from the lively scenes of Atlanta to the indomitable spirit of Detroit, these artists have woven their diverse journeys into a dynamic tapestry of creativity. Together, they have created a collective portrait that captures how the influence of the Asian diaspora shapes the ever-evolving contemporary art world.
Roosevelt Islanders, friends and the general public are invited for a free opening reception on Saturday. From 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., meet the artists with their work and mingle with other art lovers.
The show runs through September 8th.
Li Tang is a New York-based community dedicated to amplifying the creative voices of the contemporary Asian diaspora. Established in 2020, Li Tang aims to feature the works and talents of today’s most innovative Asian practitioners working in the varied fields of art and culture.
