Displacement: Symbols and Journeys - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Features works by established and emerging artists addressing the multiple manifestations and broad issues related to displacement including the multifaceted and complex border region between Mexico and the United States. Works featured also address the political and economic influences of other borders that shape societies—these perimeters can hinder the paths of tourists, immigrants, and most poignantly, refugees. Some of the contemporary artists’ works emphasize cultural colonialism and appropriation, while others address immigration, alienation, isolation, and hybridity. Certain works construct new narratives, while others deconstruct myths. Includes drawing, photography, painting, sculpture, and video by 23 artists from around the Hectór Arce-Espasas, Shimon Attie, Rina Banerjee, Andrea Bowers, Maria Magdelena Campos-Pons, Yoan Capote, Hugo Crosthwaite, José A. Figueroa, Gonzalo Fuenmayor, Gajin Fujita, Meshac Gaba, Ramiro Gomez, Luis Gonzalez Palma, Alfredo Jaar, Rima Jabbur, Richard Mosse, Shirin Neshat, Rubén Ortiz-Torres, Josué Pellot, Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz, Sandra Ramos, David Taylor, and Fred Wilson.
