The museum says:

Drawing on his own history and identity, photographer and installation artist Ara Oshagan brings together several series of work that focus on his interest in “diasporic identity, afterlives of displacement and colonization, erasure and (un)imagined futures’’.

The museum says:

Oshagan is a "diasporic multi-disciplinary artist, curator, and cultural worker whose practice explores collective and personal histories of dispossession, legacies of violence, identity, and (un)imagined futures." The show "weaves together different geographies and spaces that considers the impact of borders (both visible and invisible) on our personal and collective history, past-present-future, and the disruption of dislocation."
