Identity and the American Landscape: The Photography of Wing Young Huie
A significant exhibition touring to more than ten cities in China in 2010–2012, sponsored by the U.S. Embassy-Beijing.
Overview
For the past 35 years, Minnesota photographer Wing Young Huie has used photography to document the American immigrant experience, and to encourage viewers to ask questions about home, community, and identity. Recognizing the importance of these questions in our increasingly global world, Arts Midwest is currently touring Wing’s Identity and the American Landscape, an exhibition of 60 images, to cities across China.
The goals of this 60-image exhibition are to present the changing cultural landscape of Minnesota and the United States, and the possibilities and positive everyday realities of American diversity.
