Afterworld: Zen Garden | Recurring | Asian American Resource Center
Essentials Creative’s Afterworld: Zen Garden, is an immersive installation that seeks to celebrate multiculturalism and diversity. Their inspiration comes from afterlife beliefs across different cultures, like Obon and Day of the Dead, acknowledging the similarities among them and commemorating the legacy of our ancestors and the departed. Their collective experiences as Asian/Latin American artists motivate us to create artwork that celebrates and honors the stories and identities of people from diverse backgrounds. Afterworld is a space of inclusivity and understanding, where visitors of all ages and backgrounds can come together to recognize and appreciate the commonality of their shared experiences, and gain a deeper understanding of one another.
