About this Event

Artworks by alumni, staff, and faculty from the University of Massachusetts Boston’s Art & Art History Department, co-organized by the University Hall Gallery. Curated by Sam Toabe and Sarah McAvera

Insight into the Other is an exhibition exchange between Belfast and Boston that looks at how place affects how we see art and each other. The exhibition invites people to think about difference, understanding, and shared experience through prints, collage, animations, drawings, sculptures and videos. Curated by Sam Toabe and Sarah McAvera, it asks if artworks can change meaning when shown in different countries and cultures. The works by artists connected to the University of Massachusetts Boston explore themes such as identity, work, migration, time, and loss. The exhibition encourages open thinking, empathy, and conversation across borders.

Artists include:

Jon Bakos, Tynan Byrne, Brian Christopher Glaser, Charlie Crowell, Zach Horn, Kakyoung Lee, Erik Levine, Erika Lopez Torres, Joetta Maue, Catherine Mazza, Nancy McCormack, Christopher Schade, and Wenhua Shi
