WHOSMUSEUM presents the “Visual Language of Modernity” at the Sasse Museum
I am honored to participate in the upcoming exhibition:
“Visual Language of Modernity” is visioned to be a resourceful group exhibition showcasing contemporary artworks by international artists. The artworks have been chosen to provide a unique lens at the complexities and modernity of multi-cultural backgrounds and identities in globalization and diaspora. The exhibition will showcase a wide range of art forms, medias and materials, from traditional techniques to digital work and installation art. The exhibition has been designed to reflect the multi-aspects of modern creation.
In collaboration with Whosmuseum and Sasse Museum of Art, the “Visual Language of Modernity” will take place in the Sasse Museum of Art located in the diverse-cultural Downtown Pomona Arts Colony at 300 S. Thomas St., Pomona.
The exhibition will run from February 1st to February 22nd, 2025.
“Visual Language of Modernity,” a juried exhibition masterfully curated by Shuai Xu, emerges as a groundbreaking showcase of contemporary artworks that challenges our understanding of identity in an increasingly interconnected world. This international exhibition brings together artists whose works navigate the complex intersection of tradition, displacement, and cultural evolution in our globalized society.” —Sasse Museum of Art
The local art community and world-wide art lovers are encouraged to experience this dynamic exploration of art, culture, and aesthetic presentations emerging from multi-cultural artists’ communities, their artistic languages integrated with innovation and modernity.
I am pleased to be showing:
“Concurrencies I: Charlotte Salomon Eva Hesse”, 2022, 58 x 19.5″, denim, varnish, hemp cord, gold thread
I am looking forward to seeing all the other works in the show, and how they work together, I am sure, in good company.
The Hera Rewrites HER/OUR Story
“Writer Elizabeth Lesser asks “What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her?”
Flipping through the pages of your high school history textbook, how many stories are written about women as monumental protagonists? When was the last time you watched a movie that passed the Bechdel test? When was the last time there were more women than men on the Supreme Court voting on the right to our bodies?
As brands of “faux” feminism partnered with consumerist culture push out media representing women’s liberation through a patriarchal gaze, how can we reclaim the visual language to share more authentic stories? How can our art share the stories of women, trans women, and non-binary folks written out of the history books? How does your work give voice to the overlooked and underrepresented?
Hera Gallery presents 52 works that rewrite this cultural consciousness for a more inclusive human history.”

“Adapting through Curiosity and Connection with Debra Disman”: My Podcast with Alyson B. Stanfield/Art Biz Success!
I was thrilled to have this conversation with the one and only Alyson B. Stanfield of Art Biz Success, someone I have admired and followed for a long time!
Some of the points we cover:
“In this episode of The Art Biz, Debra shares her journey, revealing how she has navigated this transition with resilience.
Throughout our conversation, several key themes emerge:
- Debra’s fierce curiosity that drives her to explore and understand her surroundings.
- Her drive to pursue new opportunities, no matter the obstacles.
- The critical role of networking and the connections she’s made along the way.
- The power of making consistent progress, even through small, daily actions.
- The importance of staying adaptable in an ever-changing world.”
