Picturing Parallax: Photography and Video from the South Asian Diaspora

This new exhibition flips the flawed photographic distortion known as "parallax" into a metaphor for images that offer multiple perspectives. South Asian artists from the U.S. and beyond-many whose work is rarely exhibited on the West Coast-use the parallax to address and represent globally important issues such as social equity, exile, migration, assimilation, gender and memory.

Curated by Santhi Kavuri-Bauer.
