A visionary among contemporary artists from the 1970s to 1990s in the United States, Martin Wong embraced a multifaceted individualism as an Asian American queer painter and poet who freely explored and traversed ethnic and racial identities; challenged cultural, racial and ethnic stereotypes; and found creative sources through intersections of psychedelic theatre performance, calligraphy, poetry, graffiti and Asian art.
Chinatown USA investigates the liminal spaces the artist occupied and traces the development of Wong's work through his connection with the arts and culture of Asia. In particular, it highlights his explorations of Chinatowns in conjunction with counterculture communities (such as Puerto Rican poets and Black and Latino graffiti artists) in New York and San Francisco.
