From Afar with love is an exhibition that celebrates the profound contributions of immigrants to America’s cultural landscape, highlighting not only their resilience but the deep love they carry for their home countries. This show invites viewers to explore the beauty that immigrants bring to this country, both as creators and as individuals whose stories of migration are rooted in hope, connection, and the dream of a brighter future—for both themselves and the people they leave behind. Rather than focusing solely on the struggles of immigration, From Afar, with love shifts the lens to the creativity, innovation, and cultural wealth immigrants contribute to American society. The exhibition showcases a diverse range of artistic expressions that reflect the journeys of those who have crossed borders—not simply for personal gain, but often to create opportunities that will support families, communities, and the places they call home.Through their art, these immigrant artists reveal a richness of heritage and a dedication to both preserving and enriching their cultural roots, all while weaving new threads into the vibrant fabric of American culture. The works on display reflect the beauty, complexity, and strength of these lived experiences, celebrating the intersection of past and present, home and abroad.
This exhibit is sponsored in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department, Texas Beer Co., El Dorado Cafe, The Lost Explorer, Basta, Consulado General de Mexico en Austin, and other community organizations.
