be/longing

2023. Art Exhibition. Museum of Modern Art, Tallahassee, FL. 

"be/longing" is an immersive exploration into the complexities of community, identity, and belonging. This exhibition celebrates the narratives of those who exist in the margins, exploring themes of diasporas, cultural heritage, and the profound search for identity—both within collective communities and in solitary introspection. At the heart of "be/longing" lies a profound inquiry into what it means to belong—to a place, a culture, or a community—while navigating the nuances of individual identity. The exhibition delves into the intersections of personal narratives and shared experiences, offering a poignant reflection on how communities shape and redefine identities over time.
