Diaspora & contemporary art
Twelve Gates Arts
106 N. 2nd Street
What you can encounter
Established in 2011, Twelve Gates Arts presents international art connected to diaspora experience, including South Asian identities. Its work crosses cultural and geographic boundaries through exhibitions and community education.
Try this when you visit
Read the artist’s own account of place and experience before assigning a cultural meaning to an object. Then look for the specific materials, images or languages involved. A diaspora identity is not a single visual style. Keep the individual artist’s decisions distinct from broad assumptions about a region or community.
