For the “Meet the Artists” - Exhibit Discussion of Wild Cranes Recorded on July 15, 2021 - Please visit our YouTube Channel.

A special exhibit on display at the Chinese American Museum DC!

Wild Cranes is visual poetry and a reminder that despite our tribalism we are all human. It is a cross-cultural affirmation of the universal magic of chance, of destiny, of love, and of time. Like the birds this collection is named after, Wild Cranes traversed half the planet. Washington-DC based writer and global journalist Nirmal Ghosh, had his poetry translated into Mandarin by Liuyu Ivy Chen, a Chinese writer, poet, and translator transplanted to Atlanta, Georgia. The pieces were then rendered in traditional Chinese calligraphy by gifted Beijing-based artist Zhao Xu. Finally, they were transformed even further, into a luminous beauty, by New York-based photographer, artist, and global soul Tanya Ghosh.

Wild Cranes will be on display at the Chinese American Museum from July 15 – December 22, 2021. Visit the exhibit in person on Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm and get a sneak peek of our museum in development. Free admission. No reservations required.
