Mixed Feelings: Existing in the Space Between

On view now through March 20, 2026

The Brea Gallery is proud to present Mixed Feelings: Existing in the Space Between, exploring themes of identity, intersectionality, and cultural hybridity through the work of multi-ethnic and biracial artists. Spanning a diverse range of media, this exhibition considers the complexities of belonging and the lived experience of navigating multiple cultural identities.

The exhibiting artists investigate these themes through deeply personal and socially engaged works, drawing from depictions of personal experiences, family histories, and political injustices. Mixed Feelings reflects on these layered realities, inviting viewers to consider how identity is negotiated, expressed, and redefined across intersecting cultural heritages.

Featuring select paintings from Michael Dixon's Miscegenation Nation and Picaninny 1976, Mary Jo Matsumoto's Half-Asian Artifacts series, glassworks by Netflix's "Blown Away" artist Momoko Schafer, debuting multimedia works from Eunnuri Lee, new collaborative works and photographs from Hiroshi Clark's 85 7 20 and Natsuyasami series, lithograph prints and paintings from Derick Edwards, textile works by Emma Kapi'olani Hughes, select paintings from April Werle, Naima White's Unseen Archives series, works by MICA 2023 Solo Show artist Amanda Kazemi, and installations by Bianca Nozaki-Nasser and Malaya Tuyay.
