In cartoonist parlance, a “baby” is a piece of work. Cartoonists often speak of “finding a home” for their babies — in other words, a place for their cartoons to be published. The “babies” in this exhibition are from 10 talented cartoonists of Asian descent who have been published in The New Yorker.

Inspired by decorative art, Hu’s delightfully whimsical illustrations document her culinary journeys and observations from around the world, bringing the everyday to life (and sometimes larger than life) and revealing the extraordinary in the ordinary.
