Students Showcase Art for AAPI Heritage Month
Here at Millbrook, we work tirelessly to ensure every student is known and needed, and on Thursday the community embraced a tangible result of that mission. In honor of Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, Nga Ho ’26 and Linna Du ’26 curated a special exhibition of student and alumni art titled Liminality.
The exhibition, which is on display in the Hamilton Math & Science Center studio space, opened with a reception after Formal Dinner. Artists Lucy Kim ’27, Charley Li ’27, Sowol Park ’29, Evan Sun ’25, Eason Wang ’26, and Jason Zhang ’29 joined Nga to showcase pieces that express the liminality students from various cultures experience here on campus and at home.
“Across these works likes a question that many who move between cultures carry with them: Who are you when your identity changes depending on where you stand?” write Nga and Linna. “Growing up in an international school and later entering high school in the U.S. means a life shaped by constant shifts in language, behavior, and belonging. At home, one may feel more American in mindset, habits, or expression. Meanwhile, that same person may become more conscious of their Asian identity at school—through family traditions, cultural expectations, and the way others perceive them. Existing between these spaces can be both enriching and uncertain.”
The striking work on display includes provocative photography, emotive charcoal drawings and oil paintings, and traditional ink drawings and calligraphy. Between the brushstrokes and camera angles is a powerful story of young adults embracing their identities at Millbrook School.
