WRITING HOME: LITERACY, IDENTITY, ENVIRONMENT:

Statistics document the impressive ethnic and cultural diversity of Queens but, for those who live here, numbers appear hollow and rhetorical. What is it like to live/work/playlike to live/work/play within culture-fluid communities that are still becoming "home" for its residents? The 2020 Southeast Queens Biennial curators, Molaundo Jones and Margaret Rose Vendryes, invited ten artists with a significant connection to Queens to address literacy, identity, and environment with work that investigates ways of being an integral part of the borough’s fabric through visual art. Exhibitions at the York College Fine Arts Gallery and the Miller Gallery, JCAL present work in a variety of media that can be read in more ways than one. Allowing for open-ended definitions of literacy, identity, and environment, Queens artists compliment, and complicate, New York City life through visual narratives that are like WRITING HOME.
