Organized by a poco art collective in collaboration with Charles Arnoldi’s Venice Beach studio, “Nüwa’s Garden” is an Asian diasporic and ecofeminist exhibition guided by the principles of Feng Shui and Five Element theory. The show reimagines the myth of Nüwa—the Chinese goddess who molded humans from clay and sealed the sky with five-colored stones—through the work of 24 artists working across ceramics, sculpture, painting, and installation. Each piece is placed with intentionality, activating elemental energies and ritual zones throughout the industrial site, now transformed into a sanctuary of myth, memory, and material regeneration.
Join us on July 12 at 11:30am for an auspicious and harmonized walkthrough with curator Ann Shi, exploring how Feng Shui informs spatial storytelling—and how curating can become a form of witchcraft.
