SUMMARY:Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:GALLERY OPENING – LISA ELMALEH\, “TIERRA PROMETIDA / JESSICA WOLFF\, “THE NEW MESTIZA”: \nLisa Elmaleh: Tierra Prometida\nJessica Wolff: The New Mestiza\nTwo Photographers Depict Stories of Migration and Immigration \nOn view Sept 12–Oct 13\, 2024\nOpening Reception: Thurs\, Sept 12\, 2024\n6 – 8 p.m. \nTHE GALLERY at the Visual & Performing Arts Center\nWestern Connecticut State University\nWestside Campus\, 43 Lake Ave Extension\, Danbury\, CT 06811\nGallery Hours: Tues–Fri\, noon – 4 p.m.\, Sat–Sun\, 1 – 4 p.m. \nLisa Elmaleh’s series of photographs\, Tierra Prometida\, captures the multifaceted aspects of migration along the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Her work encompasses the people\, landscape\, migratory routes\, and humanitarian efforts in the area. While conveying both empathy and urgency\, her work challenges the myth of the American Dream from the perspective of the borderland environs\, the individuals seeking asylum in the United States\, and the volunteers and groups involved in providing essential assistance to migrants. \nJessica Wolff’s photographs delve into the experience of being Mexican-American and navigating the dynamics of two cultures that often clash or contradict each other. Embracing the term “mestizos” (of mixed race)\, Jessica acknowledges her and her subjects’ Indigenous and Spanish ancestry. Using symbols and icons from both Mexican and American history\, she creates a fusion that represents a new culture\, new myths\, new icons\, and new images\, where there is no longer a strict division between Mexican and American identities\, but rather the emergence of a new mestiza culture. \nReserve a spot for the reception at www.eventbrite.com/e/art-opening-lisa-elmaleh-tierra-prometidajessica-wolff-the-new-mestiza-tickets-917287861687
