About This Event
Rupprecht Matthies is interested in the power of language and shared creative processes to engage and inspire communities. Drawn from the museum’s permanent collection and reconceived by the artist for installation in the Hirschfeld Atrium, ¿Being Home? is a community-generated artwork that comprises words transformed into colorful mobiles and wall pieces. Presented in 13 languages including Arabic, English, Karenni, and Spanish, the installation reflects the lived experiences shared by diasporic populations and those forced into exile.
