Collection: Current Exhibition - Nepantla: The Land is the Beloved

May 18, 2024, through September 6, 2026
Katrin and Karl-Erivan Haub Gallery

Nepantla: The Land is the Beloved highlights a group of artists identifying with the Arab diaspora who live and work in the western United States and are drawn to landscapes that are as dramatic and ancient as those found in their own homelands. These artists, however, complicate traditional representations of the region, acknowledging and resisting its settler-colonial history, thus deepening our understanding of these places. Nepantla: The Land is the Beloved is part of the [re]Frame: Haub Family Collection of Western American Art project at Tacoma Art Museum. This exhibition is organized by Tacoma Art Museum and curated by Maymanah Farhat.
