Exhibition Premise:
AAWAA has developed the Emerging Curators Program as an opportunity for curators to develop their vision and curatorial expertise in Asian American Art. AAWAA is pleased to announce Brian Ignacio as our next curator in this program.
With Brian, artists will explore the concept of youth and how one's youth should not be determined by one’s age, but rather one's capacity to dream and stay imaginative, no matter one's age. The theme will showcase artists who are able to demonstrate a connection to the dreams of their youth and how it has affected their current perspective. In life, youth seems to be lost as your experiences develop and as you move through adulthood. The art that will be showcased in this show will serve as an inspiration to play, have fun and remind us of what youth means. For many Asian American women, youth seems to become a dream, or something lost along the way due to all the pressures of being an Asian Woman today. The artwork will hopefully serve as a reminder to stay positive in one’s capacity to imagine and dream which is the driving force to happiness and success in all aspects of your life.
Eligibility:
Open to artists who are, or identify as, Asian American women.

About the Curator:
Brian Ignacio is a first generation Filipino American visual artist raised in the Bay Area. He is a recent graduate of San Francisco State University with a degree in Asian American Studies. The themes of self determination, agency and the power of community is one that he hopes to integrate into his current artistic narrative.His art features monsters, maidens, and imagined landscapes, with the intent of juxtaposing the opposing dualities of life and consolidating them in one cohesive piece. His inspiration mainly delves from comic books, Miyazaki films, and pirates. His hopes with his art is that it allows the viewer to escape into an alternate world, where in which they can form their own stories and ideas of what's going on in the art work.
