Hung Liu: Golden Gate, a new installation in Wilsey Court by renowned artist Hung Liu, will combine new and existing work to highlight international and domestic narratives of migration. Based in Oakland, Liu is one of the most important Chinese-born artists working in the US today. Reimagining some of her most iconic paintings through the lens of her personal history, she places herself among and celebrates the migrants who arrived in California from both land and sea.
