Persistence of Vision: Asian Diaspora Perspectives in Continuum

Art is a powerful tool that can tell stories in a way that highlights and amplifies experiences. That’s what Margaret Albaugh and Frances Grace Mortel’s new exhibit, showing at Spokane’s Chase Gallery, aims to do. The two Spokane-based artists use the concept of persistence of vision, a phenomenon that allows our eye to continue seeing something after it’s no longer there, to tell the stories of Asian and Asian American diaspora. The show consists of multiple still images in succession, highlighting both artists’ crafts of photography and film, and creating a captivating and engaging visual experience.
