Artist Oscar yi Hou Questions "Asian" and "American" Identity

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 28, 2023

Oscar yi Hou's exhibition at Brooklyn Museum questions what it means to be “Asian American” and who is considered “American.” Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon features eleven of his recent figurative paintings, casting his friends and himself as East Asian figures to Son Goku of the popular media franchise Dragon Ball. Hou and curator Eugenie Tsai join us to discuss the show which is on display until Sept. 17.
