Evolving from Art for Change’s 3rd Annual Hacia Afuera Public Arts Festival held on August 28-29, this exhibit will be on display through the end of September at the Harlem Gateway II Building on Lexington Avenue and 126th Street. Through drawings, sculptures, and site-specific installations, artists explore historical and contemporary narratives within immigration, including: acculturation; gentrification; economic inequality; discrimination and racism; the “culture of exile” and plight of refugees; immigration policies, regulations and reform; and the controversial roles played by politicians, activist groups, and privatized media.
