From the political posters of Favianna Rodriguez and Cesar Maxit to the quiet traditional Korean Pojagi of Susan Cho, from the paintings using iconic images of Joan Belmar to the activist mixed media paintings of Shahla Arbabi, all the artists interpret their heritage, create a shared identity and present their experience of living in the United States.
