Art Closer to Home

Does it make any difference where we see art? For one multidisciplinary artist and feminist, it’s crucial—not just because of who sees it, but what stories get told. Meet Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya. Born to Thai and Indonesian immigrants, she studied neuroscience at Columbia and worked at an Alzheimer’s research lab before becoming a full-time artist, educator, and activist. Today, she chooses to display her work in reclaimed urban spaces and to champion the experience and stories of underrepresented communities. Discover what drives her passion for using public art as a tool for change, proudly displayed outside the walls of traditional museums.

Guest: Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, multidisciplinary artist, educator, and activist
