Art Exhibit: The First Lady of RIOT IN THE SKY: Sahra “Nash” Nguyen, Apr. 5-9

The Cultural Affairs Commission Art Series is opening their Spring Quarter series featuring UCLA’s own artist extraordinaire, “The First Lady of RIOT IN THE SKY: Sahra Nguyen a.k.a. Nash” Followed by immense success after selling her first painting at age 15, Sahra has been featured in collaborative and solo installations since 2006, exhibiting her unique experiences as an Asian American woman and her take on a number of issues– such as the labor exploitation behind the “sneaker freaker hypebeast madness”. It is now 2010 and Sahra is making a return to her alma mater to bring new light into the term “Art Activism”.
