Dream State: Works In Progress

Recognized as one of the Asian Art Museum’s most outstanding programs of 2024, Dream State returns this year as a centerpiece of AAPI heritage month. At last year’s event, the Dream State artist collective explored the question: How do dreams shape and change across generations? This time around, they’re digging deeper, asking: What do we do when a dream begins to fall apart?

About the Artists

• 

  Dream State: Awakening Visions is a bold new artist development program for emerging AAPI creatives in partnership with Edge on the Square and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. Originating from a 2024 exhibition at the Asian Art Museum, the program is driven by a pressing need to cultivating community, hope, and self-belief.
