ABOUT MANDALA AT START UP FAIR 2018
The medium of a mandala lends itself to multiple layers of interpretation. It can affirm identity, tell a story, and educate the public on topical issues or physical places. Each row of carefully chosen objects works with the adjacent rows, and with the color and look of the mandala as a whole.
This 4’ concentric mandala- inspired and directed by mandala artist Nancy Hom- was a collaborative effort by the AAWAA team, and led by Hanna Chen and Jenny He, honors and celebrates the Asian American Women Artists Association. With its various elements feeding into one center, the mandala offers a birds-eye view of AAWAA’s founders, administrators, and artists in its 29-year history. The mandala was finished by community members April 27-29, 2018 as part of stART Up Fair San Francisco.
