Join the Henry and the University of Washington's School of Art + Art History + Design for the 2022 Critical Issues Lecture Series!

Attend weekly sessions alongside degree-seeking students to learn about contemporary art and ideas directly from the makers.  

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

CFGNY began in 2016 as an ongoing dialogue between Tin Nguyen and Daniel Chew on the intersection of fashion, race, identity, and sexuality. Joined by Kirsten Kilponen and Ten Izu in 2020, CFGNY continually returns to the term "vaguely Asian": an understanding of racial identity as a specific cultural experience combined with the experience of being perceived as other. CFGNY does not wish to represent what it means to be "Asian" in the singular; instead, it encourages the visualization of the countless ways one is able to be in the plural.
