FROM FAR EAST TO WEST: THE CHINESE AMERICAN FRONTIER
VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
The entire From Far East to West exhibition, which was on view at The James Museum from October 14, 2023 to January 28, 2024, is now available as a virtual exhibition on our website. The virtual tour offers an immersive experience, featuring a filmed overview of the exhibition by curator Emily Kapes, as well as an interactive map.
Immerse yourself in stories of resiliency and self-determination. From the Gold Rush and the Transcontinental Railroad to the development of Chinatowns and Angel Island, the contemporary work of Chinese American artists Hung Liu (1948–2021), Mian Situ, Jie Wei Zhou and Benjamin Wu transports viewers back in time to gain insight into what life was like for early Chinese immigrants who helped build the American West.
This exhibition is organized by The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art.
