Rotem Tamir: Latitude 33°

“Latitude 33°” explores migration, inheritance, and belonging through objects shaped by displacement. Named after the cartographic line crossing North Africa and the Middle East, the exhibition traces artist Tamir’s cultural lineage.

When migration forces people to leave material possessions behind, stories, embodied knowledge, and remade craft traditions become vital vessels of cultural transmission. Within Mia, these objects exist in a state of quiet dislocation, powerfully echoing the profound, universal tensions of departure and arrival.

Tamir has exhibited at institutions including the Rochester Art Center, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, the Haifa City Museum, Locust Projects, and the Harn Museum of Art, among others. She was a 2021 McKnight Visual Artist Fellowship recipient and received support from the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship, Minnesota Jewish Arts Council, and an Exhibition Grant from Artis Contemporary.
