About

I'm a visual artist obsessed with optimism. Originally from California, now living in New York. This is a space where I think through and share notes on art, art worlds, transparency, positive psychology, and my process.

16 immigrant womens’ flags of resilience ready for the 2023 Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco in How I Keep Looking Up, an art project led by @christinewongyap with @cccsanfrancisco @calle24_sf. Segment by @suzannephantv on @abc7newsbayarea 🙏🏾
📣💃🏽🏁We MARCH this Saturday! 🐲🐉Chinese New Year 🧧 Parade! SF Chinatown! Come to Downtown SF or SF Chinatown to see our contingent of 16 working-class immigrant Latinx and Chinese womxn flying flags that represent resilience from their immigration stories, life journeys, what they’ve survived and how they thrive and contribute. Link in bio for more info. Free—show up anywhere along the parade route (swipe for map).
Chinese New Year is a time for joy, cultural pride, family/chosen families❤️, and celebration. We have lived with too much fear and injustice, to dim our brightness, to suppress our expressions of love. We say wishes for good things in the new year like every year, and mean it, like every year. We are certain in our hearts of our right to belong and to be safe. We gather in community because culture is how we nourish and care for one another.

Elizabeth Hamby’s Alphabet City—a show of prints, sculptures, and works on paper based on footprints of buildings around NYC—is on view through July 9 at Casita Maria in the Bronx.

Hamby is one half of Meta Local Collaborative. To get with the bike-love this weekend in NYC, check out Meta Local Collaborative’s activity sheet for make things (happen): (how to) make friends, make a scene, make things happen, and fall in love with your neighborhood.
