Carey Young’s Declared Void II (2013) calls for our attention now, more than ever. Join us as local artists step inside the box of Young’s piece to ask questions about immigration, citizenship, and nationalism. Artists include Xochi de la Luna, Moheb Soliman, Essma Imady, Zoe Cinel, and Maryam Houshyar.
Teresa Nelson, Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota and John Keller, Executive Director of Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota will be present to answer questions and discuss issues following the gallery presentations.
"The US is an insanely affluent country that almost erased the memories of its own immigrant cultural roots, as well as memories of the land before immigration. Because of that, this artwork, here in Minneapolis, speaks about reconnecting with memories to change attitudes and policies toward current immigrant flows." Zoe Cinel, an Italian artist and MCAD graduate student, discusses her performance within Carey Young's 2013 artwork Declared Void II.
