Meeting SAND T at artSPACE@16 in Malden, Massachusetts. An Interview Conducted Via Electronic Mail By James Manning, Director of Art Initiative, Inc. Boston. Winter-Spring 2003.................................................Asian American Woman Artist
Excerpt from an Un-Cut interview conducted in Winter/Spring 2003 -
James Manning: How do you think being an artist, in particular an Asian American woman artist has shaped your role as a curator, gallery director and your role in the community?
Sand T: Besides my role as an artist in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I also operated an art-consulting firm, working on art projects in collaboration with the Malaysian National Art Gallery, local art colleges, private galleries and individuals to promote Contemporary Arts through organizing and curating exhibits. During that time, this question was never asked while I was doing the same thing in Malaysia as I am doing now in the States.
My woman-ness and Asian-ness has been magnified after my move to America. My role as an Asian woman, an artist, and a curator who grew up in a multicultural country like Malaysia and now living in another melting pot, the United States, has not changed significantly. I perhaps have more to provide culturally and artistically to the community here.
I see myself a human being, a person who wants to make a different in the community, anywhere, no matter how small.
