Add Review/Comment

Flo Oy Wong, a Sunnyvale, California-based mixed media installation artist, is a visual storyteller who began her career at the age of forty. Born and raised in Oakland California’s Chinatown, Wong has received numerous awards for her work, including a 1992 award from the Euphrat Museum of Art at De Anza College, a 1995 President’s Award from the Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA), a 2001 Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation (AIISF) Award, a 2002 Kearny Street Workshop (KSW) Award, and the city of Sunnyvale’s 2007 Outstanding Contribution to the Arts Award. The KSW and AIISF Awards were bestowed on Wong for her commitment and creativity in telling the stories of Angel Island detainees from 1910 – 1950 in the landmark exhibition entitled made in usa: Angel Island Shhh. In 2002, Wong received a California Civil Liberties Public Education Program Grant, in collaboration with the Japanese American Museum of San Jose, to create the exhibition entitled 1942: Luggage From Home To Camp, a project that used the suitcase as a symbol of the internment experience.

Wong has exhibited widely on a regional, national, and international basis.

    The CSMA has a wonderful program of free cultural performances for families. Four Winds was an example of the terrific programming. It instilled an interest in native american culture in our son.

    "Sounded like more"

    These guys sure sounded like a lot more than four men and four mics. The sound was great and the breadth of music was a lot of fun. Mostly I'm amazed.
