Join us for the opening reception of the upcoming exhibition A Plot of One’s Own 一亩三分地 as part of the Chicago Exhibition Week 2026!

The popular image of an American Chinatown is defined by dragons, pagodas, and replicas of a transportative portal to Chinese-ness and the “Far East” of the American imagination.

This show redefines this gaze with a look into a somewhat ubiquitous cultural phenomenon in Chinese American communities–the farm-gardens.
