Exhibition Statement

The art in this exhibit focuses on our complex and often hostile relationship to “The Other.”  Racial and religious segregation, incarceration, economic separation, and personal alienation: all bear witness to the violence in our societies and to the need for empathy, compassion, openness, and for the erasure of borders, here and around the world.
