This exhibition features the work of Haitian-American artists Didier William and Paul Gardère. In their prints, paintings, and artist's books, William, assistant professor at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, and Gardère use multi-layered visual vocabularies to explore their personal histories and heritage and the fluid construction of identity within diasporic communities. Located within the European galleries, this exhibition reevaluates of our understanding of the narratives of Western history and art through how William and Gardère confront the long and ongoing history of colonialism to emphatically forge their own identities and create powerful narratives of resistance.

Organized by Didier William and gallery texts written by Erica Moiah James, assistant professor at the University of Miami.
