The Otherworld is Home

The Haggerty Museum of Art is presenting a museum-wide exhibition series called "The Otherworld is Home," drawing inspiration from a Yorùbá proverb about life's journey and spiritual home. This free public program explores meaningful themes including personal identity, cultural heritage, spiritual transitions, and connections within African diaspora communities across time and geography. Three exhibitions run simultaneously, each offering a different lens into African artistic expression. "African Art: Ancient Roots, Enduring Values" traces historical traditions, while "Iké Udé: Sartorial Anarchy" examines contemporary creative practice, and "Thresholds" rounds out the experience. Together, these shows celebrate how African artistic traditions continue to shape and inspire modern culture. There's no admission cost, making this a wonderful opportunity for families to explore meaningful art and learn about diverse cultural narratives.
