Displacement and Belonging: The inaugural exhibition featuring four female artists with diaspora backgrounds

Co-founders Lorraine Han and Dan Yang are pleased to announce the launch of Unveil Gallery and the opening of Displacement and Belonging, their inaugural exhibition at 200 Technology Drive, Suite F, Irvine, CA 92618, on September 23, 2023.

On view through November 9, Displacement and Belonging opens with work by Shuling Guo, Bing Liu, LaRissa Rogers, and Fei Xue, four women artists with unique backgrounds. Guo, Liu, and Xue were born in China; Rogers was raised in the United States in Virginia and is African American and Korean. While Liu and Xue remained in China, with studios in Beijing and Shanghai, respectively, Guo emigrated to the United States and settled on the East Coast before the pandemic. Rogers lives and works in Los Angeles. They are united by diasporic experiences, facing the challenges associated with moving from their places of birth to new, larger cities or other continents to pursue their careers and, in the process, make sense of their identities as women and artists. The exhibition includes painting, installation, sculpture, and drawing.
