Featuring a variety of historic, modern, and contemporary works, this collection-based exhibition explores evolving concepts of family and community in relation to themes of belonging, diversity, and inclusion. The featured works range from 19th-century portraits of a mother and siblings to Elizabeth Catlett’s powerful portrayal of an African-American grandmother and grandson, as well as Caren King Choi’s recent, monumental depiction of her Asian American nieces and nephews. Also included are works by artists from a variety of Indigenous/Native American communities, including Melanie Yazzi (Navajo) and Mario Martinez (Pascua Yaqui).
The Museum’s collections reflect the diverse roots of American culture, as well as both individual and common experiences shared across lines of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and geographic region.
The exhibition is curated by Gail Stavitsky, Ph.D, Chief Curator, Montclair Art Museum.
