Opening • Xyza Cruz Bacani: The Diaspora is Home
October 4 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT

Join us for the opening reception of The Diaspora is Home, a solo exhibition by Xyza Cruz Bacani. This exhibition presents photographs of the Asian American diaspora, from portraits in living rooms to scenes of community gatherings, food traditions, and religious practices. Installed within a living room environment, Bacani’s work evokes belonging and cultural continuity, transforming the gallery into a space of warmth, reflection, and collective memory. The opening reception on Saturday, October 4 is accompanied by the presence of community members who appear in the photographs, sharing food they have prepared, and a tea demonstration by Anna Ye.
