Kenneth Tan Art Exhibit: "The Lola x Kenneth Collaboration"

Kenneth Tan Art Exhibit
THE LOLA x KENNETH COLLABORATION
on display through May 2023
@Central Library, 5th Floor

The Lola x Kenneth Collaboration is a project by Kenneth Tan and his grandmother, or "lola" in Tagalog, Crescenciana.

"When Lola was ninety-four years old, I moved back home to San Jose, CA, to help care for her, and we started working together. Lola made paintings in watercolor, and I drew her memories on top of them. When Lola passed, she left behind her paintings, and I decided to finish everything she started. I promised."
