JOHN & ROBYN HORN GALLERY
July 5 – September 17, 2022
Stories we live with, construct from our past experiences, shape from our culture, and fashion from our dreams and aspirations; the story is given form by the artist. Narrative art gives visual form to our human chronicles and imagined realities. The artists in this exhibition communicate through the lens of their culture and their ancestral and familial experiences.
