SUMMARY:ArtistsNConversation: Albert Chong
DESCRIPTION:ArtistsNConversation: Albert Chong\nDate: March 18, 2026, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM\nFree in person event at: The Printed Image Gallery, Brandywine Workshop and Archives, 730 S. Broad Street, Floor 2, Philadelphia PA 19146.\nPlease join us on March 10 at 6PM for an inspiring conversation with artist and photographer Albert Chong, moderated by Gustavo Garcia\nAlbert Chong is a contemporary artist dealing with personal mysticism, spirituality, race and identity, and numerous other topics through his work. His main bodies of photographic work have been in the genres of still life in black and white and color that represent and reanimate Chong’s family history.\nThrough his work we learn about Aunt Winnie, Justice, Miss Peggy, and gain an insight into one family’s story from Jamaica’s past. These works use analog and digital layering to create the sometimes dense but usually simple arrangements that infer, relate, connect and signify the complex nature of the struggles of the displaced peoples of the Asian and African diaspora. Chong’s other works in the photographic medium include his Throne for the Ancestors Series and his portraits of artist friends and of Jamaicans in Various parts of Jamaica.\nAlbert Chong was born in Kingston, Jamaica, W. I. in 1958. He is the last of eight children of merchant Chinese and Afro Jamaica parents. He lived in Brooklyn and attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he received a BFA with Honors in 1981.\nChong will be joined by videographer, printmaker and BWA alum Gustavo Garcia who will be acting as moderator.\nWe look forward to seeing you there\nPhoto courtesy of East Side Art Institute\n
