Artists Horatio Hung-Yan Law, Sam Roxas-Chua 姚, and Shu-Ju Wang will be discussing the installation of photos from Portland’s Chinatown that you’ll see in the Imago lobby when you come to see the show as well as the current offerings at the Portland Chinatown Museum.

Horatio Hung-Yan Law is a Portland-based photographer, installation and public artist who focuses on making creative projects with communities. The core of his art stems from his Asian American identity and his experience as an immigrant. His projects explore identity, memory, and history—the invisible foundation of a community. His project often includes a strong community process, engaging stakeholders in planning and production of the artwork. His public art portfolio includes works created for the City of Tacoma, the Housing Authority of Portland, Seattle Public Utilities, Oregon State Hospital, Tri-Met’s Portland-Milwaukee Light-Rail Line, Portland Parks & Recreations, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture,, Asian Counseling and Referral Service and The AMP: AIDS Memorial Pathway in Seattle.

Sam Roxas-Chua 姚 (Yao)’s work is an on going conversation between poetry, open-form calligraphy (asemic writing), audio field recording, and other various mediums. He is a transracial/transcultural adopted person whose writing and art has been called an imagination baked in emotion and referred to as tidal in formation. His work with the Portland Chinatown Museum has taken him all around Oregon to have close dialogues with individuals who hold crucial knowledge about Chinese diaspora. 

From burning historical wood remnants and collecting excavated charcoal to make calligraphy ink, to recording ambient sounds of historical places such as Kam Wah Chung, Wing Hong Hai, and Chinese mining sites, he contributes a narrative which invites new paradigms of listening, thought, and understanding. 

Shu-Ju Wang is a painter and book artist. Multiple voices and viewpoints are the cornerstones of her work, a reflection of her personal history of migration and background in technology, science and art. It is a balancing act of the analytical vs. meditative modes of creating, of re-imagining traditional motifs in a contemporary context, and of understanding our stories as a relationship between narration vs. interpretation.
