An intimate and unflinching memoir exploring Mia Kang’s
journey from self-loathing to self-love Mia Kang is many
things: a sought-after model, an immigrant, an eating disorder
survivor, and a Muay Thai fighter. Her first book, Knockout, is
the story of how she eschewed normative body standards and learned
to use martial arts to redefine her sense of self-worth. In a
charming, fierce, and intimate voice, Kang invites readers into
her world. She once lived and died by her weight, but she is now
defined by her confidence in being a woman who lives outside the
mold of what we’re taught is “feminine.” After dealing with
bullying, addiction, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and even
suicidal thoughts, Mia acknowledges that she is lucky to still be
alive to tell readers what she’s learned: to not let anyone else
dictate who you are supposed to be.

"What I want to do is code-switch. To have there be layers of
history and politics, but also this heady, arty stuff-inside jokes,
black humor-that you might have to take a while to research if you
want to really get it."-Sanford Biggers Sanford Biggers (b. 1970)
is a Harlem-based artist working in various media including
painting, sculpture, video, and performance. He describes his
practice as "code-switching"-mixing disparate elements to create
layers of meaning-to account for his wide-ranging interests. This
catalogue focuses on a series of repurposed quilts (many made in
the 19th century) that embodies this interest in mixture. Informed
by the significance of quilts to the Underground Railroad, Biggers
transforms the quilts into new works using materials such as paint,
tar, glitter, and charcoal to add his own layers of codes, whether
they be historical, political, or purely artistic. Insightful
essays survey Biggers's career, his art in relation to music, and
the history upon which the series draws. Also featured is a short
yet powerful graphic essay by an award-winning illustrator that
introduces the layered meanings inherent in the art and craft of
quilting. Published in association with The Bronx Museum of the
Arts Exhibition Schedule: The Bronx Museum of the Arts (September
