MICHAEL GILES: NEW DRAWINGS

Hamilton Center for the Arts (Lincoln Memorial University) / 703 Brooklyn St., Cumberland Gap, TN March 9, 2020 - March 20, 2020

Michael Giles

Michael Giles presents new drawings that reflect the current climate and conversation around immigration. Giles takes images of child detention camps and reflects on his own upbringing as an immigrant in the 1980s. He reflects on the feelings of otherness that immigration can bring to a child. The work also reflects the renewed sense of fear and paranoia that the current societal conversation on race and immigration has brought to him and other Latinx people.
