Year of the Tiger Performance Series

Soo Hoo Park on The Rose Kennedy Greenway 
2022

Celebrate the cultural power that flows through AAPI communities across the Asian diaspora in ways that vocalize both struggles and joys. Visions/Voices features live outdoor performances by Boston-area artists and performers who draw upon a wide range of artistic styles, cultural traditions, and languages from AAPI communities and beyond. Each event activates artist Cheryl Wing-Zi Wong’s YEAR OF THE TIGER installation in Mary Soo Hoo Park.

Live music, movement, spoken word, and even an audio play fill the park in Chinatown this summer. Visions/Voices is a summer 2022 outdoor performance series produced in collaboration with Pao Arts Center and Curator Leslie Condon.

Leslie Anne Condon is a Boston-area visual artist, independent curator, arts administrator, and burgeoning arts scholar. As a first-generation Lao American woman and transracial adoptee living with chronic illness, she has witnessed first-hand the grave impact that under-representation and misrepresentation have on a community’s internal dialogue and the larger social unconscious. Her recent visual work addresses the complexity of identity within immigrant communities of color, as well as rituals of mourning. Leslie’s work has been featured at different New England area venues, including the Rubin-Frankel Gallery at Boston University, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, and 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH. She has also exhibited artwork through the Asian Arts Initiative in Philadelphia, the Residency Project through MotorLA in Los Angeles, and VisArts in Rockville, Maryland.

As a curator and emerging scholar, Condon is interested in Critical Race Art History and issues of representation within visual culture. In 2021, she had the honor of serving as the Hopkinton Center for the Arts’ Inaugural Kris Waldman Curator-in-Residence. Condon earned a Post-Baccalaureate in Fine Art 3D from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2011.
