Islands from a Faltering Empire creates a dialogue among Filipino-American, Puerto Rican, and Hawaiian artworks. The three archipelagos are united by shared histories of acquisition by the United States in 1898. As artists based in the United States, the artworks critique American imperialism from within. What are the similarities within narratives of resistance to American occupation? The artworks from these entangled perspectives manifest the desire for revolutionary change to challenge an American Empire.

OH Art Foundation is pleased to announce Island from a Faltering Empire, an exhibition curated by Jonah Sanderson jonah
The Islands from a Faltering Empire exhibition brings together Filipino (Sophie deJesus,
Camilla Williamson, and Diwa Oro), Hawaiian (Luluka Brown-Spielman), and Puerto Rican
(Isabel Padilla-Bonelli) artists based in the Chicago to draw attention to shared, lived histories of imperialism. Even after Filipino independence in 1946, the status of Puerto Rico as a commonwealth in 1952, and Hawaiian statehood in 1959, the shadow of the American Empire still exerts pressure on diasporic islander bodies and minds.

OH Art Foundation is pleased to announce Hold Me in Your Arms, a solo exhibition featuring the work of Yang Mai YANG MAI On view from July 17th to August 16th, 2026

Hold Me in Your Arms exists as both an exhibition and as a standalone structure: an intricate, site-specific, self-perpetuating system that, despite its industrial references, is imbued with organic movement that is unmistakably bodily in nature. Repurposed garments, colorful paint, and PVC pipes are deconstructed and distorted to create striking new forms that clamber across the gallery floor, commanding attention beyond the ordinary. Mai’s compositions reveal the inner intricacies of unseen systems that govern our lives; by disrupting space and form, he disseminates the sociopolitical nuances of belonging—how, for example, might matters of individuality be shaped by restrictive conditions? Inversely, are systems also molded by those they aim to regulate, classify, and standardize? This mutual malleability is explored in the push-pull architecture of Hold Me in Your Arms, which, though unquestionably inoculated with the artist’s mastery of balance, deftly embodies the pervasive tension that defines the world around us.
