Living Here
On view: June 20–December 20, 2025
Opening reception: September 5, 5:00–8:00 pm

Living Here is an exhibition of artists from the East and Southeast Asian diasporas. Featuring artists whose ancestries lie in Cambodia, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines, Living Here looks at the way that our familiar touchstones—such as food, clothing, and movies—permeate diasporic movement with the sensuous materiality of touch, taste, sight, and sound.

Artists include Eliza O. Barrios, Ching Ching Cheng, Daieny Chin, Jisoo Chung, Emmanuel David and Yumi Janairo Roth, Maya Fuji, Sush Machida Gaikotsu, Jeannie Hua, Hue, Phung Huynh, Jeanne F. Jalandoni, eri king, Maryrose Cobarrubias Mendoza, Quindo Miller, Jiha Moon, May Nguyen, Ian Racoma, Michael Rippens, Jennifer Seo, Stephanie Shih (史欣雲), Stephanie H. Shih, TT Takemoto, Sherwin Rivera Tibayan, Maria Villote, and Christine Wong Yap. It incorporates oral histories from Reflections: The Las Vegas Asian American and Pacific Islander Oral History Project, a project by the Oral History Research Center at UNLV Libraries.

The Marjorie Barrick Museum is open from Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Entry is always free. Living Here was created in consultation with Dr. Constancio Arnaldo, Jean Munson, and Dr. Mark Padoongpatt. The Museum would like to thank the Oral History Research Center at UNLV Libraries, Reflections Project Manager Stefani Evans, and Oral History Research Center Director Claytee White; as well as our research assistants Daniela Castañeda and Daniel Taylor.
