Bay Windows Lantern Exhibition on view until March 11, 2026!

Bay Windows: Illuminating Immigrant Women’s Perspectives, a decentralized exhibition of 15 sculptural lanterns. Each lantern is based on a paper cut designed in collaboration with one of 15 working class, immigrant, Chinese or Latina women. The artworks explore intersectional lived experiences of issues such as immigrants’ rights, workers’ rights, the high cost of living, affordable housing, public safety, and mental health, plus how the women confront these structural challenges.

Bay Windows is supported by a 2025 Creative Capital Award, Zellerbach Family Foundation’s Community Arts program, Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure Grant, Community Engagement’s Artists & Creatives Grant, A Blade of Grass’ Field Funds, and ASIAN, Inc.
