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. She utilizes traditional materials in an untraditional manner, transmitting latent and denied information surrounding her own family’s experiences and injustice.
Horiuchi has participated in solo and group exhibitions in San Jose, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco, the latter notably at the Kearney Street Workshop as well as the de Young Museum. Her work is represented by Monarch Contemporary, Palm Springs, California and can be found in public and private collections.
