Legacy Show (Online Only): Race & Nationality

Home: Meditations on Race and Nationality, the title of the gallery’s second show, alludes to the role race and nationality play in our understanding of home. Differing concepts of home contribute to cultural tensions, which are experienced both privately and publicly. Artists interpreted the theme of the show individually. Some focused on American nationality, personal experiences, or macro-scale, abstract concepts. Others still decided to deal with the theme in a more direct way by addressing the 2016 US presidential election and its aftermath. Ultimately, the pieces explore the limits of our principles and values, race, religion, shared experiences, and history, in binding seemingly disparate groups under a common label.
