Artist Flo Oy Wong is known for her provocative explorations of family and community history through her work. The exhibition includes Wong’s most recent installation, made in usa: Angel Island Shhh, that exposes the conditions and experiences of Chinese immigrants incarcerated at Angel Island Immigration Station between 1910 and 1940.

Premiering as a work-in-progress, Kindred Spirit #1 reflects on Wen Ho Lee’s 278-day imprisonment under accusations, later dismissed, for mishandling sensitive nuclear data. Wong evokes the loss she endured by focusing on the things he missed most: family and food.
