The Longwood Art Gallery hosted an opening reception for ‘Foreign/Familiar: Immigrants in the Bronx’ exhibit on Wednesday, January 9. Foreign/Familiar explores displacement and belonging through the work of seven Bronx visual and media artists. Their works are influenced, inspired, respond to, or revolve around issues of voluntary and involuntary exile, migration, diaspora and statelessness.
Featured artist Luis Stephenberg Alers proudly displayed his piece representing his transition to life in the Bronx.
