Stephanie H. Shih

Stephanie H. Shih’s painted ceramic sculptures explore the way cultural identities evolve as they migrate with a diaspora. She replicates everyday objects that reflect traces of colonization, emigration, assimilation, and cultural interchange within the lives of Asian immigrants and their children.

Shih has had solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and at the Syracuse University Art Museum. Her work has been reviewed by the LA Times, Hyperallergic, Cultured, and NPR, and received support from the American Museum of Ceramic Arts, Silver Art Projects, and Lighthouse Works. The next major presentation of her work will be at Berggruen Gallery in San Francisco in February 2023. Activism is central to the Shih’s practice, and she has raised over $100,000 for marginalized communities experiencing instability related to home through her art and platform.
