Felicity Wong is an MA student of Art History at CU Boulder. Her research is focused on contemporary fashion and textile arts within diasporic and Asian contexts. She explores how craft and clothing serve as sites for collective experiences of displacement and ecological anxiety, as well as discourses surrounding the laboring body and gender politics.
Felicity has contributed to a digital exhibition hosted by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies about public art in Ukraine, cataloged 19th-century photographs of Asian women as an assistant to a curator at the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, and published a paper on the chola subculture that emerged among Chicana youth during the late 20th-century in Through Gendered Lenses , an undergraduate gender studies journal. She received her BA in English from the University of Notre Dame.
Also a writer of prose fiction, Felicity’s interest in fashion can be traced back to her love for short stories—especially those by Virginia Woolf.Ìý
