Here nor There

28th October - 2nd December

‍

This exhibition invites us to consider the connection between ethnicity and one's ability to belong. The artwork is a collection of the artist's digital and physical thought experiments in response to familiar concepts of settling down and feeling at home: taking root, building a nest, connecting with family history and childhood memories, all while feeling like an outsider, unsettled, neither here nor there.

While the exhibited artworks use places connected to the artist's ethnicity like Bulgaria, Israel, and Ireland, the work in the STAC Chapel art lab, which will be open at various points throughout the exhibition, will allow people to creatively respond to the gap between our concept of a place through folkloric knowledge and its actual reality, connecting diasporic and migration histories with those of local knowledge and sense of place.
