Join us for weekly gallery of Think!Chinatown’s current exhibition, Winged Seeds by Jia Sung.

Think!Chinatown is excited to present Winged Seeds by New York-based artist Jia Sung, who brings together painting and collaborative textile. Composed of painted portraits framed by embroidered motifs of so-called “invasive” plants, the exhibition gathers diasporic memory, family archives, and ecological entanglements. Shaped in collaboration with Chinatown community members, workshop attendees gathered to stitch the frames for painted ancestral portraits and share family histories—interweaving personal memory with the legacy of displacement.

Jia Sung is a Singaporean Chinese artist and educator whose practice spans painting, artist books, textiles, printmaking, and translation. She is the author of Trickster’s Journey, a tarot deck published with Running Press. @jiazilla / jia-sung.com
