Far from Home
Through July 13, 2008
Far from Home Main Page | About the Exhibition | About the Artists | Works of Art | Podcasts | Blog
 Come discover 20 of today’s most compelling global artists working in radically diverse media as they explore how moving throughout the world—or across the city—profoundly affects our lives.
Far from Home explores the various ways that displacement is manifested in creative expression, suggesting very personal transformations alongside wider group dynamics of belonging and exclusion. Whether focused on the individual or larger community, works here stand in dialogue with the expansion of global networks as people relocate and circumscribe their experiences in new places while maintaining connections to homelands and heritage, however tenuous.
Organized by the North Carolina Museum of Art.
