For Meena Hasan's debut solo exhibition with LAUNCH F18, Hasan engages the process of tracing the “inventory” of her South Asian American diasporic consciousness.
On the occasion of her debut solo exhibition with the gallery, Meena Hasan sat down with Christin Graham to discuss her new body work she created for Mangiferin Chintz.
The echo — a sound wave returning to its source, doubling back through space and time — can be an apt metaphor for diasporic experiences and familial legacy. This metaphor is apparent throughout Other Echoes Inhabit the Garden, a small two-person exhibition of paintings, photographs, and sculptures made of paper by artists Tommy Kha and Meena Hasan.
Meena Hasan’s newest show at LAUNCH F18 is, what she brilliantly and comically calls, a “kaleidoscopic onion.” To understand that, one must first understand her vivid works that stem from diverse compositions and series but are now in giddy and ponderous conversation with each other in one show.
Two New York-based artists, Meena Hasan and Tommy Kha, will be featured in a show at Launch F18 Gallery at 373 Broadway (at White). The show delves into the artists’ American and cultural identities and focuses on women in their families and post-colonial legacies.
