Exhibit Now Open Through November 3, 2015
“The Map is Not the Territory” ~ Parallel Paths: Palestinians, Native Americans, and Irish is a curated traveling exhibition featuring 64 works by 39 Palestinian, Native American, and Irish contemporary artists. The exhibit explores the profound relationships and commonalities in these three cultures’ experiences of invasion, occupation, and colonization with original paintings, photographs, prints, drawings, artist books, and films. The works consider such topics as conflict, resistance, land, food, diaspora, identity, and persistence.
Although many peoples worldwide have suffered long and brutal intrusions, Palestinians, Native Americans, and the Irish have intersected for centuries in specific and often unusual ways. What are some of these intersections, and how do contemporary artists examine and process them through their own lives and visions?
BPFF is proud to present this special exhibit, now open through November 3.
