Stop by the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery on your lunch break and learn more about the Art Museum’s current exhibition, Hangama Amiri: PARTING/فراق!

On select Wednesdays, join the Art Museum staff for drop-in tours. These informal sessions welcome everyone from experienced gallery-visitors to the art-curious.

Hangama Amiri creates intricately layered textile compositions that muse on kinship, and memory, and the meaning of home. PARTING/فراق builds on an ongoing body of work that focuses on the artist’s personal history and diasporic experience during the nine-year period of familial separation that followed her family’s migration from Kabul in 1996, when the artist was seven years old. In the present, Amiri draws on family photographs and letters to create dense and lush collages that tend to her and her family’s daily lives in the diaspora, and witness the immense labour of caring for a family amidst migration and separation.  

Free and open to the public! No registration is required.
