Solo Exhibition, Reception and Artist Talk with Yiyun Chen

Yiyun Chen: Whispers in the Breeze 微風細語
Artist Talk and Reception: May 24, 1-3 p.m.
Yiyun Chen’s photographic project, Whispers in the Breeze 微風細語, began as a pastime and was prompted by the artist’s wandering as a pedestrian along Lake Erie. The project became a ritual, and then a process of self-reflection and self-discovery for the artist as an Asian immigrant – exploring the relationship between people, environment and society.
