good luck 2026

opening feb 21, 2026 at letterform archive

co-curation of good luck 2026, the second installment in a series of exhibitions celebrating the lunar new year. the project started in 2025 for the year of the wood snake and continued this year for 2026 as we celebrated the year of the fire horse. good luck 2026 has an expanded focus on the cultural ties between san francisco’s and new york city’s chinatowns. we worked with the w.o.w. project, midnight project, and lucky risograph, the organizers of the nyc-based lunar new year exhibition from chinatown, with love, to do a cross-country exchange. this year, i also spearheaded and produced an exhibition catalogue along with the free takeaway and a limited edition risograph print.

2026’s show was about highlighting the many contributions of asian americans and honoring chinatown as a site of deep heritage, an enduring presence, and an important piece in celebrating the traditions of the new year.

digital asset design

digital assets included the show’s identity, which riffed on last year’s identity. i took inspiration from the neon signs that are often seen in chinatowns and the classic red and white “thank you” plastic bags that are usually part of the chinese takeout experience.

physical assets included a limited edition risograph print and red envelopes for the year of the fire horse, a laser printed brochure takeaway, and an exhibition catalogue (designed and produced).
