This Land is My Land

Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design's "This Land is My Land," opened Friday, Jan. 18 and running through Saturday, March 22.


Curated by MIAD Foundations (first-year) Faculty member Cedar Marie, the exhibit brings together seven diverse artists to explore divergent cultures with respect for the perspectives and values generated within their boundaries and for the collisions and shifts that occur beyond "mainstream" American culture.

"The artists," said Marie, "communicate across cultural and social divides through works that are largely media-driven. They address issues ranging from personal identity to racial, gender and sexual stereotypes, landscape and land usage and cultural self-images projected on and within the body. The results are intimate expressions of human experience extending beyond the definitions of self, home and being in a foreign land within a dominant culture."
