Asia North 2020 Exhibition
Highlighting the work of our region's most creative Asian and Asian American artists.
Tradition - Memory - Transformation is part of Asia North 2020, a celebration of art, culture, and the Korean history and heritage of Baltimore’s Charles North community, co-presented by the Asian Arts & Culture Center (AA&CC), Central Baltimore Partnership, Charm City Night Market, and multiple community partners. The celebration was originally planned as a physical exhibition with performances, films, a night market, neighborhood food tour, and more to be held from April 4-May 9, 2020. However, due to physical distancing policies, we now present an online version of the exhibition here and hope to offer the originally-planned events in the future. We thank our major donor, the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, for supporting this adaptation of our plans.
Tradition - Memory - Transformation highlights twenty-five regional Asian and Asian American artists whose works express, illustrate, and address the fusion of cultures, drawing from traditional art forms, memories of homeland, and more. These works express the different yet interconnected layers of experiences, histories and identities whose cultural roots hail from China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
