About june Xu

June Xu is a Houston-based interdisciplinary artist, curator, and cultural producer and the Founder and President of the Asian American Art & Culture Initiative (AAACI). Her work centers on transforming overlooked Asian American histories into accessible public culture through archival research, oral history documentation, and research-based artistic production.

She is the creator and lead producer of Roots Unveiled, a large-scale historical exhibition that debuted at Austin Central Library in 2025 and welcomed over 16,000 visitors, and Resonance, a multi-phase video art and oral-history project touring Texas and California in 2026. Her projects have been developed in collaboration with institutions including the Houston Public Library, Rice University’s Houston Asian American Archive, UT Dallas, and Honest History Magazine, and have been featured by PBS Austin and the Texas State Library System.

Through AAACI, June leads multi-year cultural initiatives that reconnect fragmented family histories, expand public access to Asian American archival materials, and integrate humanities research with contemporary art practice. Her work emphasizes ethical community collaboration, intergenerational storytelling, and long-term public impact, positioning Texas-based Asian American history within broader national and transpacific narratives.
