AARC Heritage Month Exhibit Reception and Artist Talk

The AARC presents: Migration and Integration, curated by Mai Deguchi, featuring five Asian Texan artists: Carme Pena, Ashley Adams, Emily Weerts, Evie Thompson, and Anna Pham, who all present their work in different settings that highlight their own experiences of living in Texas as an Asian or Asian American. This show highlights the experiences and memories of Asian American communities through quilting, crocheting, sewing, and more. Fiber and textile arts act as crucial tools for community building, archiving, and maintaining cultural traditions. In this exhibition, folks can see the many forms that fiber arts can take, and appreciate how each artist has used fiber and textile to showcase their own family histories and personal stories. Migration and Integration is on-view at the AARC through June 6, 2026. Join us for the Artist Talk and Reception on Saturday, May 16 from 11am to 1pm to learn more about this exhibit from the curator and artists! This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP is required.
