Curated by ETSU alumna and KCKCC gallery director Shai perry, the works explore themes of movement, identity, and cultural heritage, Migracion showcases the diverse perspectives of Latinx artists through a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media installations. This exhibition not only celebrates artistic expression but also aims to provoke thoughtful discussions on the Latinx experience in today's globalized world.

Migracion at Tipton Gallery provides a platform for Latinx artists to share their narratives, with work that distinctly narrate individual and communal journeys of resilience, and the richness of Latin American culture. The exhibition is presented as homage to the Hispanic Month and the diverse Latinx communities of Appalachian Highlands, supported by the ETSU Student Life & Enrollment, Women’s Studies, Gender & Sexuality Program, Bert C. Bach Written Word Initiative and Women’s Resource Center with UMOJA Unity Festival.

Art enthusiasts, community members, and supporters of the arts are invited to attend the reception and poetry reading to meet Latinx artists and engage with their compelling works. Admission to the reception and exhibition is free and open to the public. ETSU Tipton & Slocumb Galleries’ diversity programming is supported by the Tennessee Arts Commission’s Arts Project Support grant, East Tennessee Foundation’s Arts Fund and ETSU Student Life & Enrollment through SAAC.
