Maggie Wong is a visual artist and educator who uses research and multidisciplinary art practice to explore political inheritance, memory, and play. Her work builds meaning like a stack of toy blocks, assembling and falling into a relational history rather than fixed narratives in media that include printmaking, sculpture, and installation. This approach acknowledges the impossibility of articulating an entire cultural or political inheritance, embracing Angela Davis’s idea that “legacies of past struggles are not static.”

She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Her work has been shown at The Arts Center at Governors Island, The Chinese-American Museum of Chicago, Mana Contemporary Chicago, Comfort Station, Annas Projects, take care (LA), Temple Contemporary, YBCA, and 99cent Plus, and has been written about in ArtForum and Sixty Inches from Center. Her writing has been published by Yale University Press, Viral Ecologies, The Seen, and the Journal of Art Practice.

Maggie Wong’s three-year BCA Studio Residency is supported by Wagner Foundation.
