Between Us, A Resonance: Cultural Memory and Community at The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (EFA), in partnership with ALT Alliance, is proud to present Between Us, A Resonance: Stories of Cultural Memory, Community, and Belonging—a group exhibition featuring AAPI artists Ziyi Zhang and Wei-chen Lou from the two-month artist residency program at EFA, alongside artist and Guqin musician Yiting Liu. The exhibition explores the evolving relationship between individual cultural memory and collective experience through community-centered, interdisciplinary practices.
Throughout the residency, artists delved into themes of cultural memory, personal identity, and belonging, working across diverse media to create pieces that intertwine intimate narratives with broader community dialogues. As part of the program, ALT Alliance hosted an Open Studio on July 27 at EFA Studios, where artists presented works-in-progress. The event featured a mid-residency showcase, guest critiques led by curators and art critics, and an open public discussion—providing an insightful glimpse into the creative process.
What makes Between Us, A Resonance unique is its emphasis on engagement and participation. Throughout the residency, the artists engaged closely with the community, inviting members into their creative process through workshops, conversations, and story-sharing that now form an integral part of the exhibition. These interactions shaped the final works on view, transforming the gallery into a space of exchange and reflection.
“Between Us, A Resonance is not only an exhibition but also a process of dialogue and engaging” said Cheryl Huang, Curator of the exhibition and Art Program Lead of ALT Alliance. “The residency invited artists and communities to share stories of memory, healing, and belonging. What we see in the gallery is more than the finished works, it is the resonance of voices, experiences, and connections that continue to expand beyond the exhibition itself. Between Us, A Resonance reveals the layered beauty and complexity of this process, not only through what the artists have created, but also through how they created it.”
