NYC-based artist Mimi Bai participated in an intercity conversation with Boston-based artists Gohar Dashti and Ngoc-Tran Vu at Pao Arts Center. This conversation, held on January 28, 2023, was in support of Bai’s solo exhibition Mimi Bai: HIDE AND SEE, curated by Amanda Contrada, that was on view at the BCA Mills Gallery from December 2022–February 2023. Drawing from different regions of the diaspora, each artist utilized varying conceptual approaches to explore themes of migration, home, and community through their work. Their overlapping and contrasting practices in video, photography, mixed media and public art raise anthropological and sociological questions around assimilation in new geographies. The event was co-produced by the Pao Arts Center and by Boston Center for the Arts.

After the conversation, artist Mimi Bai conducted an artist walkthrough of her solo exhibition, HIDE AND SEE at the BCA Mills Gallery.
