APAture 2023 presents Seeking Home, a literary arts showcase. This year’s featured artist is Shelley Wong, author of “As She Appears” (National Book Award longlist for Poetry). Shelley will be joined by Rowena Leong Singer, Nicola Andrews, K Dulai, Lucie Pereira, Danica Li, and Alder Duan Hurley. These seven artists approach the ideas of land, place, migration, and the legacies of imperialism and displacement, reflecting the ways in which we conceive of home and the impermanence therein.
