Tiger Balm

Tiger Balm is a series of intergenerational interviews conducted by artists of the Asian and Pacific Islander diaspora working in the United States. These conversations connect two artists at different points of their careers and life practices in a familial, curious, and elucidative tone. This project seeks to fill a void of AAPI representation by creating an archive that complies with pieces of knowledge within our practices and expands the network and discourse around our vital practices.

^{Where did you grow up? What was your family life like and your family composition? Did your family or specific family members have a relationship to art? How would you describe your work to your family? Was there a moment when you became aware of or begin to use language for your identity? Did that influence your work? Why or why not? What fuels you daily? What parts of your practice might not be visible to the viewer? What is the difference between working for your particular community and working as a member of that community? Imagine we were students and had all these questions about art making. What would feel really valuable to hear? How do create communities of support? What does it look like, feel like, and mean to make work from the position of diaspora? How do we know each other?}
