In a time when natural disasters, political unrest, and forced migration displace millions, how do we preserve our cultural identity while forging new lives in unfamiliar places? How do we reconcile our love for the places we call home with the pain of feeling unwelcome in them? Is our sense of self shaped more by the legacy of our ancestors or by the nation we reside in?
Nuestra Tierra is a call to reflect on the meaning of belonging—whether it’s a physical place, a community, or a cultural inheritance. This exhibition seeks to illuminate the diverse experiences of what it means to reclaim identity and to find security in one’s roots—even when those roots are challenged, transplanted, or transformed.
Join the Decatur Arts Alliance in celebrating the closing of this impactful exhibition on Friday, October 17th from 6-9pm. Enjoy traditional food, good music, and a period of ‘artist talks’ in which they share more insight into their artworks and background!
