Lee Mingwei: Our Peaceable Kingdom

New artists have added to Our Peaceable Kingdom at every venue it has visited. Now comprising 42 wide-ranging artworks, Lee’s installation in Worcester will feature for the first time the original Hicks painting from WAM’s collection that inspired the project. The Museum’s presentation will also include three new paintings by Worcester-based artists Susan Hong-Sammons, Kat O’Connor, Emmanuel Manu Opoku. As it continues to expand globally, Our Peaceable Kingdom celebrates the range of perspectives reflected in each artist’s reinterpretation and invites viewers to reflect on their own visions of peace. 

The Worcester Art Museum’s iteration of this exhibition is curated by Samantha Cataldo, Curator of Contemporary Art, and Yagnaseni Datta, the Sohail and Mona Masood Associate Curator of Asian and Islamic Art.
