Displacement & Migration Juried Exhibition

St. Louis Artists’ Guild
April 21 – May 20, 2017

In April, I was lucky enough to have my work “Victorian Mansion” from Homesickness Series displayed in the Displacement & Migration exhibition at SLAG curated by jurors Anita Fields and Basil Kincaid. The exhibition, which features the work of 49 selected artists, investigates the current or historically forced or voluntary relocation of individuals or groups of people who no longer inhabit their place of origin. This exhibition featured artworks and educational programming in conversation with slavery, apartheid, war, homelessness, and diaspora motivated by culture, politics, religion, and climate. The awards presentation led by local artist Basil Kincaid gave cash prizes totaling $1000, including a $50 Honorable Mention award for “Victorian Mansion”.
