Lee Mingwei: Rituals of Care is Taiwanese American artist Lee Mingwei’s first survey exhibition in the US and features seven projects made between 1995 and 2024 that place visitors at the center of radical acts of generosity and care, asking how art can be a conduit for social connection and healing. Inspired by personal experiences of loss and resilience and major world events such as September 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic, artist Lee Mingwei (b. 1964) has, over the course of his career, created powerful participatory mixed-media installations and performances that transform ordinary gestures like writing, sweeping, mending, or breathing into rituals of engagement and solace.
