HANNAH LANGER: DISPERSAL: THE CHOICE OF REDISCOVERY

Ewing Gallery of Art + Architecture (UTK) / 1715 Volunteer Blvd. April 7 - 15th

Hannah Langer

On December 8th, 1998, I was abandoned in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Changfeng County, Anhui Province, China; eleven months later, I was adopted by a Caucasian couple from Beverly, Massachusetts. As a transracial adoptee, I have felt that a portion of myself was left in China, resulting in a lifelong struggle to understand a sense of home, culture, and race. Through the exhibition Dispersal: The Choice of Rediscovery, I explore the loss of relating to my own origin.
