A free exhibit at the Columbus Metropolitan Library’s Main Library is using art to explore immigration, cultural identity and the search for belonging. “Immigration: A Journey of Belonging,” featuring work by six artists, is on view through Nov. 12. The exhibit includes photography, paintings and fabric art addressing displacement, family separation, violence, persecution and connection. Its artists are Elham Bayati, Kirsta Nieme Benedetti, Mona Gazala, Dana Lynn Harper, Raixa Velázquez and Teresa Greve Wolf. Greve Wolf, an immigrant and social justice artist, said her paintings are intended to communicate about issues affecting immigrants and families. She moved to the United States with her husband while he studied at a university in California. During that time, Chile underwent political upheaval and a dictatorship that lasted 18 years. The experience left Greve Wolf feeling connected to both countries. One painting reflects that dual identity by showing her wrapped in Chilean and American flags. “I think I belong to both,” she said. The exhibit is open to visitors at the Main Library’s free art gallery. Greve Wolf said she hopes people will engage with the issues through her perspective and that her paintings will carry a message.
