What happens when you imagine a place of your own? No rules, no limits, no boundaries?
If you had a place of your own, what would it be?
September 2010 - A Place of Your Own at SOMarts
The first chapter of AAWAA's ongoing project was launched at the de Young the  entire month of  January 2009: Artists-in-Residence program at the de Young Museum.
In the de Young’s  Kimball Gallery, artists examined their answers to the question, "If you had a place of your own, what would it be?" while working on their installation and interacting with the public.

A Place of Her Own, a mutli-faceted artistic approach responding to the question, "If you had a place of your own, what would it be?"

For Asian American Women Artists Association’s ongoing project “A Place of Her Own,” AAWAA will develop exhibitions, artist in residencies, literary forums, educational forums, workshops, panel discussions, online interactive web venue and so on.
AAWAA asks, “What does it mean to have a place of your own and how would you express it creatively?”
