In Between the Middle: Dinner Party Convo Anti-Artist Talk Talk

During Chinese New Year, the notwhite collective and participating exhibiting artists will celebrate Chinese New Year, feasting on the amazing food while candidly sharing stories about their work, lives and experiences.

This is but a small window into the notwhite collective’s process for over the past 2 years.

What is #notwhite?

WE are a group of ten women artists elevating the stories of the others. Those of us who do not fit neatly in the consensus boxes, neatly in cultural categories.

WE are bi/multi-racial/cultural, immigrant or descendants of immigrants. Over the past two years, we have met to share, to question, to investigate, dig deep into what identity is within and without the construct and context of white—not in skin color, but as a system of oppression, a system we do not align ourselves with. In lieu of police brutality, calls for bans, for walls, we hope to provide an artistic platform for difficult discussions on the complexities of cultural identity in America to move us towards humanity.
