8 Americans: Chain Letters

In an effort to continue a conversation initiated by artist Christopher K. Ho and curator Daisy Nam with their anthology of correspondences, Best! Letters from Asian Americans in the arts,  CHART has extended the prompts from Ho and Nam’s book to the participating artists in 8 Americans and asked them to both submit letters about their own personal experiences and to invite another person to do the same.

These chain letter-like exchanges will exist on CHART’s website and will be updated on a rolling basis. As a testament to this moment, it is our hope that they will inspire further discussion and openness across generations within the artistic community.
