November 14th
National Gallery of Art, East Building
10:30 – 12:30 pm
How might works of art help deepen understanding of complex ideas and nurture empathy? How does “place” shape our identity? Participants will explore the exhibition Homelands, which shares diverse experiences of migration, immigration, displacement, and resettlement. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the power and catharsis of telling one’s story through art. Through slow looking and thinking routines, we’ll consider how homeland stories reveal the complex and changing relationships between people and ideas of place, land, and home.
On view through August 1, 2027, the exhibition Homelands includes works by Kay WalkingStick, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Freddy Rodriguez, Do Ho Suh, Hung Liu, Hank Willis Thomas, Rashid Johnson, and Guadalupe Maravilla.
