The Imminent Arrival is a group exhibition, which presents the work of ten U.S based immigrant artists with diverse backgrounds, who explore the notions of identity politics, cultural misrepresentation, personal narratives and inevitability of assimilation. Employing numerous mediums and materials, including ceramics, video, photography, drawing, painting, installation and social practice, the works migrate through disciplines in a fluid manner, evoking expanded fields of contemporary practices imbued with traditional techniques, histories and ancestral knowledge, ultimately arriving at amplification of often underserved voices.
