CCC proudly presents the newest edition of the 41 Ross Artist-in-Residence program with Ho Tam, a renowned independent publisher and artist who explores media representation, race, and sexuality through diverse mediums. From painting and drawing to photography and video, Tam’s work poignantly examines what it means to be Asian, intersecting the personal with the universal.

Ho Tam is a Hong Kong-born Canadian artist whose witty, impactful, and often satirical works have inspired Asian and Asian diasporic artists worldwide. Known for his exploration of print media and identity politics, Tam is set to bring his unique perspective to SF Chinatown. During his residency at 41 Ross, Tam will delve into the neighborhood's rich immigrant history, drawing inspiration from his interactions with community members and local zine artists to create exciting new works.


From September 20th to November 30th, Tam will transform 41 Ross into a temporary bookshop, gallery, and studio, as a special edition of Hotam Press he runs in Vancouver. We invite you to experience the power of print media and discover its place in the rich cultural fabric of SF Chinatown. 


41 Ross will be transformed into a creative hub, led by Ho Tam, with diverse programming throughout the residency, such as artist-led pop-ups, a zine festival, and artist talks. 


You are invited to an artist reception on September 20th, 6 - 8 pm, to meet the artist. There will be light refreshments provided. Come engage with the multifaceted potential of print media!

About 41 Ross and AIR Program 

41 Ross is a unique community art space located in the historic Ross Alley in San Francisco Chinatown. As a partnership between the Chinese Culture Center and the Chinatown Community Development Center, it represents an experimental collaboration between a contemporary art center and a neighborhood development organization.

The program builds upon the CCC’s unique decades-long legacy in providing a platform for the artists’ experimental, conceptual, and research-based practices in an environment that strikes the balance between foregrounding artistic exploration, working within a cultural community, and promoting exchange amongst wider audiences.
