(GRO's "Far from Home" is a yearly exhibition series program presenting work by 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation artists of color that addresses immigration, diaspora and the issues facing immigrants and their descendants.)
(An artistic exploration of a family’s dark stories to ignite a vital discourse about the San Francisco Bay Area’s growing epidemic of human trafficking.)
Cynthia Tom. the guest artist of Gallery Route One’s “Project Space” exhibition, creates an intimate 20’ x 16’ space. It is an installation that is at once beautiful and heartbreaking. It is an artistic exploration of the personal human trafficking experiences of her Chinese American heritage. This newly formed exhibit is an artistic exploration of the personal human trafficking experiences of her Chinese American heritage. Prior to the 1950’s these stories of trafficking and abuse were common in the S.F. Chinese community. Unfortunately these surrealistic narratives mirror stories being played out in the Bay Area today.
Visitors will find themselves surrounded by richly colored, highly evocative surreal paintings, dangling soft and hard mixed media pieces, found object sculpture. Her installation serves to wake us up by inspiring non-verbal conversations within our hearts, calling us all to action.
Cynthia feels a strong artistic responsibility to create engaging modalities that share deep truths and spur us collectively into action. We are all connected.
