Acknowledge Our History is holding an art exhibition displaying the winning works from AOH’s 2022 Students Art Competition – “Our Culture, Our History, Our Identity.” – at the Great Neck Library from Jan. 21 – Feb. 10. We welcome you to come join us for a reception on Saturday, January 21st from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
AOH received works of all types. From painting to photography, watercolor to digital art, contestants from all over the world captured ideas that represent their culture, history, and identity. Works that will be displayed at the exhibition include self-portraits, drawings of historical architecture, other objects—cherry blossoms, animals, folklores—symbolizing cultural elements in our daily life.
The theme, integrating culture, history, and identity, facilitated conversation between competitors and those around them. By learning about their culture from parents, neighbors, and mentors, they created artworks, reflective of their own identity and the identity of those around them.
20 winning works were chosen. Congratulations: Alex Bai, Alexander Zhang, Alicia Morales, Bohan Jin, Chendan Zhao, Claire D’ Ambrosio, Henry Yi, Isabella Zhou, Jia Xu, Loretta Liu, Mingshi Liu, Nicolette Polena, Peilin Lü, Roselyn Ho, Sophia Liu, Steve Han, Suyeon Ryu, Zhenran He, Zhiying Liang, Zhiyue Li!
