Exile: The Land of Non-Belonging

Exile: The Land of Non-Belonging brings together six artists who visually explore, through photographs and videos, the experience of exile and the desire for identity and belonging. Although these artists cannot be grouped by geography, gender, or age, they each left their native countries, and most now reside in the United States. Coming from Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam, the artists visually narrate their journeys navigating new environments where gender, ethnicity, and sexuality assume different connotations.
