Insider/Outsider Juried Exhibition
Insider/Outsider An exhibition juried by Rene de Guzman, Taraneh Hemami, and Kevin Chen Root Division presents 16 Bay Area artists representing 13 ancestries in an exhibition entitled Insider/Outsider. The purpose of this exhibition is to draw together a broad range of artists, all of whom are 1st or 2nd generation immigrants to the US, working on themes of identity, ethnicity, migration, and place. Rather than focus on one geographic center or culture, we seek to present and compare a full range of perspectives. The title, Insider/Outsider, references both the identification of oneself as an “other” as well as expansive issues of boundaries and barriers between belonging and exclusion. We are thrilled to have had a panel of such distinguished jurors. Rene de Guzman, Taraneh Hemami, and Kevin Chen are themselves current Bay Area artists, curators, and educators who immigrated to the United States. Artists include: Seza Bali Youmna Chlala Aditya Dhawan John Yoyogi Fortes Diana Guerrero Jennifer Maria Harris Hoyeon Olivia Im Stephanie Inagaki Christina Mazza Noritaka Minami Ming Mur-Ray Adriana Oyarzun Juan Carlos Quintana Ari Salomon Bijan Yashar David Yun
