Mahjong Mistress Presents: Beyond The Table

Mahjong Mistress Presents: Beyond The Table

Feminist Center for Creative Work is very pleased to announce our Spring 2025 Artist in Residence, the collective Mahjong Mistress (MM), a community-focused organization centered around the game of mahjong. Mahjong Mistresses’ practice centers on the ways Mahjong serves as more than just a game—it’s a ritual of connection, storytelling, and empowerment. Rooted in a rich history, Mahjong has long provided women with a space to gather, exchange wisdom, and build resilience across generations.

About FCCW’s Artist In Residence Program

​FCCW’s Artists-in-Residence is a multidisciplinary program that presents new work by women, trans, and nonbinary artists. The program takes the shape of a three-month residency within the organization, where artists are provided with the structural and material support, as well as dedicated time from all FCCW staff. Residencies culminate in an exhibition (or other form of public presentation) and a series of public programs developed with the artist that provide insight into their process and influences.

Artists are selected through an invitation process led by our programming director, Mandy Harris Williams. We are most invested in artists that engage contemporary, intersectional feminist topics and ways of working. Most artist residents are local to Los Angeles County, or have a significant connection to the place, culture, or context of Southern California. Additionally, we prioritize work that has components of social activation and community engagement.

In general, throughout all avenues of our work, we are attempting to confront what bell hooks called “white-supremecist capitalist patriarchy.” For us this means prioritizing artists who are marginalized by this system, including women, trans and nonbinary artists, queer artists, artists of color, and those with disabilities, as well as more invisible marginalizations around, for example, chronic illness, trauma, class and/or immigration/citizenship status.

Between immersive multimedia installations, alternative co-learning frameworks, and collaborative performances, projects have probed wide-ranging issues from prison abolition and third-culture identity, to parental labor and familial lines across diasporic experiences.
