FOREIGN ART

FOREIGN LAND


Foreign Art, Foreign Land, is an ongoing project that explores the symbolic liberation of cultural artifacts and questions the provenance of art displayed in museums. These institutions often showcase works from marginalized and colonized cultures without acknowledging that many pieces were likely taken without consent. By placing prints of these artifacts on cardboard outside the museum, I aim to provoke reflection on their true origins and spark conversations about rightful ownership.
