Program Description
The world's first Chinatown Biennial is now accepting submissions for our 2021 programming, set to take place in August and September. Our theme is "furtive". We highly encourage applicants to visit our website for details. The Chinatown Biennial is part actual biennial, part parody. We aim to highlight the complexity of narratives that coexist within and around ethnic enclaves, past essentialist, colonial, gentrifying, and (self)-Orientalist notions of what art in Chinatowns must look like. Please visit our website for full details about our intentions and values prior to applying. Submissions will be reviewed by our jury and successful applicants will be notified in May.
