"Not One of Us," an exhibition by Nela Garzón, explores themes of migration and colonialism through fiberworks and paintings. Her series “Runners” pays tribute to refugees, portraying them as cultural bridges, like long, narrow rugs linking spaces. In “Forasteros” (Foreigners), her paintings examine colonialism’s lasting impact, comparing first-world tourism to the influx of immigrants.
The exhibition also features latch-hooked works of endangered species from emigration-prone regions and welcome rugs honoring Bogotá and Colombia. Join us to reflect on the intertwined stories of displacement, resilience, and cultural exchange.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through February 22.
