“My style pretty much sums up my childhood experience with art and in the streets. I’m influenced by graffiti and hip hop and it’s instutionalized through expressionism.” -Chantala Kommanivanh

In case you were wondering what our upcoming December exhibition will look like with photographs and artwork, check it below. Here are a few pieces of Lao Diaspora photos re-imagined through the eyes and hands of Chantala Kommanivanh. More on the Chicago-based Lao American artist in our past article. You can visit his website here. Want to submit to the Lao Diaspora Project? Learn more here.
