Curated by Jeanette Alanis, Reflections On Exile is global in its scale as it highlights challenging elements between human and land separation focused on elements of identity, diaspora, migration, and resilience. Inspired by Edward Said’s description of exile as "the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home”, Bay Area artists will offer a creative lens on how exile has personally affected their lives in order to provide an alternate path forward of open borders. Being alongside this journey attracts support; this is where Reflections on Exile can ignite change.
