SUMMARY:Michelle Emami: Both\, Neither and All of the Above
DESCRIPTION:For mixed-race people\, filling out your ethnic or racial background on a form can be a daunting task. Since the year 2000\, Americans have been allowed to select multiple racial identities on the U.S. Census; however\, on many other standard forms\, you are usually forced to choose just one. While some forms have a box for “two or more races\,” this option negates all racial identity\, equating your race to “other”. Understanding and celebrating a wide variety of cultural backgrounds should be commonplace in America: why are we not making space for that on the most basic of platforms? \nMexican/Iranian artist Michelle Emami decided to use her artwork as a space to celebrate her mixed heritage. In Both\, Neither and All of the Above\, Emami explores both her Iranian and Mexican heritages through motifs and cultural symbols drawn from both cultures. Her work also confronts the negativity and profound prejudices she has experienced within her communities. She reflects on instances where she felt neither Mexican nor Iranian\, and sometimes not even American. Yet with each work that explores different aspects of her identity\, Emami asserts that she is not just one race or another\, nor is she simply the sum of her parents’ cultures: she is unapologetically all of the above. This exhibition aims to celebrate her multicultural background and encourages others to take pride in their identity. \nClosing Reception\nSaturday\, October 15\, 3 – 5pm \nMeet artist Michelle Emami and enjoy live music\, refreshments and a special art-making activity! \nRSVPGallery Guide\nDive in to Both\, Neither and All of the Above with our Gallery Guide! This printable postcard features a link to a presentation exploring the themes of the show\, puzzle activities\, a craft to do at home\, and a discussion question. Printed copies are available for free at the Chandler Center for the Arts for the duration of the show. \nDownload and PrintVirtual Artist Talk\nThursday\, September 22\, 5:30pm \nJoin Michelle Emami and Vision Gallery curator Jillian Nakornthap for this virtual artist talk to hear Emami discuss her work! \nRegisterExhibition Photos
