Lucky Envelope Brewing hosts My Name Story Exhibit by Judy Lee

SEATTLE - EntSun -- Lucky Envelope Brewing is proud to host My Name Story, a moving portrait-video exhibit by artist Judy Lee, at their Ballard taproom in celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month. The exhibit opens on Friday, May 16th at 6pm and will be on display through the end of May.

My Name Story explores the AANHPI experience through the deeply personal lens of names - their meanings, origins, and the stories we carry with them. Through a collection of portraits and video interviews, AANHPI women from a range of generations and backgrounds share their journeys with identity, belonging, and reclaiming their names in a culture that often treats them as outsiders.

"I immigrated to the U.S. when I was 6 years old, and when I registered for school using my Korean name, an administrator assigned me the name 'Judy.' I've always disliked my name and never felt it belonged to me. As I began to reflect on my own story and sense of belonging, I created My Name Story," explains artist Judy Lee. "This project highlights the struggles faced by our communities in America and sheds light on the broader questions of race and who gets to belong in this country."
