The de Young Museum will present the first retrospective of Mingwei's career in 2024. Claudia Schmuckli, Curator-in-Charge of Contemporary Art and Programming for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, will explore in conversation with Mingwei, his Bay Area roots and the evolution of his work.

Our Labyrinth For Grace was inspired by Mingwei's visit to a Buddhist temple in Myanmar, where he saw volunteers sweeping the pathways quietly and slowly. It was a gift they were giving to the community, but also to themselves -- to be able to perform a ritual of cleansing but also to make a clear path for visitors to walk on.
Choral Eucharist

The cathedral's principal Eucharist, with anthems and service music sung by the Cathedral Choir. (60–75 minutes). This will mark the end of Mingwei's residency as Grace Cathedral's 2022 Artist in Residence. Following the service, a celebratory farewell coffee hour will occur on the plaza.
