Dislocation/Negotiating Identity: Contemporary Photographs from South and Southeast Asia includes over forty photographs by a diverse group of nine artists, both emerging and well-established, from Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Vietnam. Although the geographical and cultural specificity of their works is important, each of these artists is focused on the complexities of identity, within and beyond national boundaries. Using strategies of documentation, imaginative staging, and the appropriation of found photographs, these individual artists have produced a set of highly evocative and powerful images. Rooted in complex histories, they are nevertheless highly contemporary and will be meaningful to viewers everywhere.
This exhibition is supported by the Nolen Endowed fund for Asian Art Initiatives.
Open now through August 14, 2016.
