Immigrant artists
The gallery says the show features “the work of 11 artists who were born outside of the United States: Anthony Abu, Nenée Angulo, Joseph Mushipi, Zuly Palomino, Julio Berroa, Agustina Markez, Becky Behar, Astrid Reischwitz, Mari Claudia Garcia, Edward Vasquez and Fritz Eichenberg. With this exhibition, which is based in part on an essay written by Thomas Merton, Hera Gallery acknowledges that, except those of us who are Native People, all of us are immigrants and that this nation was built by immigrants.’’
