(For those who appreciate the efficiency labels provide):
A Bay Area transplant from Hong Kong, Joshua Chun Wa Chan is influenced by his hybrid cultural background. Chan is a storyteller who writes poems, orchestrates performances, and make artifacts and casts to express the emotion of being "caught in-between." Driven by language, Chan's work explores the conflict amid diverse ideologies and different religions. His goal is to emphasize, dissimulate, and radiate the love and compassion he has learned as a hybrid.
