DESCRIPTION:Curated by Jeanette Alanis, Reflections on Exile examines displacement, 
 restrictive or forced movement, and the after effects of war and 
 persecution from the lens of Bay Area artists. Inspired by Edward Said’s 
 description of exile as "the unhealable rift forced between a human being 
 and a native place, between the self and its true home”, selected artists 
 will offer a creative lens on how exile has personally affected their lives 
 in order to provide an alternate path forward of open 
 borders.\n\nReflections On Exile is global in its scale as it highlights 
 challenging elements between human and land separation focused on elements 
 of identity, diaspora, migration, and resilience. The exhibition guides us 
 through an on-going crisis in which has reached all spectrums of locality; 
 especially in the Bay Area. Each work was inspired by personal content of 
 present day displacement challenges. These recurring dynamics cause 
 disastrous divisions against the land and its people appears hopeless for 
 humanity. Being alongside this journey attracts support; this is where 
 Reflections on Exile can ignite change.\n\n\nThis exhibition’s theme is 
 focused on all existing forms of forced human separation from the land. 
 Politically, these destabilizations remain present in the most historic 
 U.S. occupancy over Native land to the new wall construction designed to 
 prevent migration from Mexico. Exile became a state of existence for these 
 artists and subjects when it should have only been a temporary journey. 
 \n\nReflections on Exile features a visual arts exhibition with an opening 
 reception on January 11, 2020 from 7-10pm.\n\nExhibiting Artists:\n\nNajah
