'The Otherworld Is Home' Explores Personal Reclamation, Cultural Identity, and Spiritual Passage

Art

The Haggerty Museum's sweeping presentation takes its cue from a Yorùbá proverb, threading themes of personal reclamation and spiritual passage through a trio of concurrent exhibitions. From classical and neoclassical African works to Iké Udé's flamboyantly layered self-portraits, the shows create a rich dialogue between tradition, memory, and contemporary identity.

Thresholds, the third exhibition, foregrounds four artists working at the edge between the seen and unseen, the personal and ancestral. Their mixed-media pieces respond to historical African artworks, forming an open call-and-response that deepens the visitor's engagement with cultural memory. With free admission and a full events slate, this is a profound and visually arresting survey of diaspora experience.
