Sybao Cheng-Wilson, director of the Estate of Ching Ho Cheng, attended the talk “Art, Identity and Legacy: Ching Ho Cheng, Miguel Ferrando, and Tseng Kwong Chi” at New York University Pless Hall Lounge on Oct. 8th, 2024. In this talk, the sisters of three artists lost to AIDS speak about caring for their brother's legacies and the role of identity has been navigated posthumously.
During this event, short presentations introduced the work of three artists who immigrated to New York City and developed their practice to distinct artistic scenes. In the following conversation, the artist’s sisters – all stewards of their sibling’s legacies for over thirty years – reflected on the often-gendered labor of legacy work and their role in translating the artistic, social, and political concerns of a deceased artist into contemporary discourse.
