![]() ![]() “The Warmth of Other Suns” brought together a multitude of voices spanning five continents, which overlaid historical experiences of migration to and within the United States with the plight of refuges around the world¬, and offered an image of migration as an experience shared by many across vastly different contexts. Through installations, videos, paintings, and photography-as well as documentary works and fragments from material culture-the exhibition explored both personal and collective tales of human movement and the ways in which artists bear witness to both historical events and more subtle shifts in the cultural landscapes. “The Warmth of Other Suns” brought together works by both historical and contemporary artists from the United States and Mexico, as well as Algeria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Egypt, Ghana, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, UK, Vietnam, and more. In June 2019, The Phillips Collection, in partnership with the New Museum, presented “The Warmth of Other Suns: Stories of Global Displacement,” an exhibition featuring over seventy artists whose work posed urgent questions around the representations and perceptions of migration. ![]()
