Two projects are being exhibited in the exhibition “Dwelling Under Distant Suns” curated by Simon Yantong Li. The exhibition runs from September 4 to December 20, 2025.

Endowment (2024) and its accompanying words will be exhibited to the public for the first time at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto. I am curious about how this work, made at Penn and in the wake of tumultuous student protest and its university repression, can find resonance at the University of Toronto (UofT). UofT also experienced student and faculty protests in 2023/2024 but to a different extent and its context different than the United States and its political administrative changes. Cyanide Debt (2025) was commissioned by the curator Simon Yantong Li. The video work was filmed on March 2025 when Penn students went to Bangkok and Chiang Mai for field work and research in the two cities.
