Angel Island shhh!
Installation art on aspects of immigration such as the Chinese experience at Angel Island. Artist Flo Oy Wong notes, "Since 1986, I have used cloth rice sacks to narrate personal, familial, cultural and community stories. For "made in usa: Angel Island Shhh," a three-year oral history-based project, I embellish the rice sacks with text, beads, sequins, and the American flag. With these materials, I narrate stories of Chinese immigrants who entered this country under false identities because of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Law."
