Teaching Wall / Panther Meadows and Dangerous Worlds: Contemporary Readings of Asian American Landscapes

August 20–December 14, 2025

Panther Meadows and Dangerous Worlds brings together works on paper by Asian American artists that explore different perceptions of the natural world. The title references both Panther Meadows, the storied California site near Mt. Shasta that inspired Isho’s sketches, and the surreal terrain of Rina Banerjee’s print. Drawn from BAMPFA’s collection, the exhibition is organized in collaboration with the UC Berkeley–Stanford Transpacific/Asian American Art Histories Working Group
