Current and Upcoming Exhibitions

DISPERSED with Emerge Converge
Emerge Converge returns with their newest exhibition DISPERSED; featuring the work One Nation Underground by Consuelo Jimenez Underwood. The established and emerging poetics that are part of this exhibition wander between colonialism, post-colonialism. They manifest the cultural impact of migration, and explore the restitution of African and indigenous roots. This exhibition ultimately attest to the restless paths that juxtapose origins and destinations, searching for a sense of identity which is in permanent construction.
