The Bronx Council on the Arts
presents Foreign/Familiar: Immigrants
in The Bronx , until Wednesday,
February 27, at the Longwood
Art Gallery @ Hostos, 450 Grand
Conccourse.
Curated collectively by Bronx
Council on the Arts staff, the exhibition
was generated through an Open
Call for Bronx-based artists, and offers
alternative narratives to the current
public discourses on immigrant
and refugee communities.
Seven Bronx visual and media
artists explore displacement and belonging
through works infl uenced,
inspired, created, or responding to
issues of voluntary and involuntary
exile, immigration, diaspora and
statelessness.
The exhibition’s title refl ects on
the usage of the terms “foreign/foreigner”
as an ever expanding tool
used to exclude vast sections of the
population from the national imaginary.
At a time when marginalized
communities are openly vilifi ed in
public conversations, these artists
articulate alternative individual notions
of movement through personal
and nuanced strategies.
The works in this exhibition span
across and weave through overlapping
historical eras and locations,
including exploring the legacies
and intersections of the transatlantic
slave trade with current migrations
of African descendent peoples
in the Bronx, memories of landscape
and domestic spaces left behind, and
questioning inclusion and nationalism
through prose and performance.
Participating artists include: Dennis
Redmoon Darkeem, Nicky Enright,
Kitchen Table Digital Diaspora
Collective, Tijay Mohammed Luis
Stephenberg, and Musah Swallah.
