Connecting you to the Contemporary Art that makes
a difference in the world
This
program will examine the movement of peoples, ideas, and art as
a result of three primary contemporary forces: tourism, migration,
and exile. In each of these situations the person moving is essentially
an outsider who engages with the culture of habitation in a way
that is distinctly different than that of the members of the dominant
culture.
The tourist comes as an observer to see a different place for a
short period of time and the accommodations for tourism focus on
the traveler as a source of income.
Migration today can be between countries or within countries, it
is a force that pre-dates the existence of borders and is a major
cause for the diversification of populations and the enrichment
of culture and communities. Migrating peoples bring cultural and
social practices, foods and culinary styles, art and ideas that
can add immeasurably to the resulting population. Although much
of the history of nations involves migrations, the individual or
groups migrating today are more often than not seen as a threat
or a problem.
Exile is another force that implies both political and social impetus.
Whether between nations or within nations, the history of human
societies is marked by trails of human movement in response to oppressive
conditions. The artist can take the viewer to places and present
situations that would otherwise be nearly inaccessible, opening
doors and minds to the realities of human movement in contemporary
society in all its many forms.
