What does it mean to be from somewhere? How do our bodies and minds identify with place? Nation explores these ideas by bringing together the work of Morehshin Allahyari, an Iranian born artist whose work The Romantic Self-Exiles 1 re-constructs identity through the memory of her Tehran – real and re-imagined; and Janeil Engelstad, an artist and founder of MAP - Make Art with Purpose, whose multi-form project, Voices From the Center reveals how identity is influenced in the midst of social and political transformation. (www.voicesfromthecenter.net) Eastfield College - Gallery 2193737 Motley DriveMesquite, TX 75150972.860.7100 phone Image: "Slavin", Bratislava, Slovakia, gilcée print, 16" x 24", Janeil Engelstad, 2007/2013
