Curated by Keith Schweitzer and Jason Patrick Voegele, the exhibit explores the concept of “what is home and what is foreign, what is progress and what is tradition.”

We were impressed by many of the thought provoking works, including Orlando Arocena’s “El Viento Azteca” (The Aztec Wind), Annu Palakunnathu Matthew’s “An Indian From India,” Esperanza Mayobre’s installation “Immigration Services II” and Siebren Versteeg’s “Flag” (a constantly changing video collage of images, generated from random internet searches, superimposed over an American flag).
