Re-Homing Instincts
Homing: An animal鈥檚 inherent ability to find its way home.
Living in a place. Occupying an environment that coexists with the rest of us, which eventually becomes ourselves. How do we inhabit this place that we call home? Planet Earth is the mother of everything and everyone, but we humans have a unique way of relating to it. Repeated stories of forced displacement between tribes and animals, and the migration of birds and people from the south to north and east to west, are some of the ways how life occurs cyclically in the here and now.
The exhibition Re-Homing Instincts explores how artists become not only participants in modes of living in this place but also storytellers. Through a selection of contemporary immigrant and first-generation women artists who have strong roots in LA, the exhibition addresses how they traditionally heal their bodies by eating the geosphere itself, the emotional scars that are left after leaving one鈥檚 land of origin (Diaspora), and the mode in which immigrants find a new home when connecting with new people in these new places.
