Barbara Horiuchi
Barbara Horiuchi was born and raised in San Jose, California and currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. She received her BA and MFA from San Jose State University. She creates pictorial, video and installation work. As a third generation Japanese-American, her work is rooted in a desire to unearth her familial history while addressing the associated historical injustices and wounds West Coast Japanese Americans experienced in the last century relating to immigration, the politics of exclusion, marginalization, loss, and resistance. The intersection of the politics of injustice and the personal experiences of her family inform her work and shape the manner in which it is conceived, constructed and created.
She has participated in solo and group exhibitions in San Jose, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco. Her work can be found in private and public collections, including the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Legion of Honor, Monterey Museum of Art and Crocker Art Museum.
