Address Unknown: An Incomplete Map of Belonging
The experience of immigration is one of transition between “here,” “there,” “nowhere,” and “everywhere,”; A transition that can be called geography of belonging. An immigrant negotiates a sense of belonging through expressions of bilingualism and biculturalism in public and private spheres. This geography of belonging is characterized and colored with an ambiguous loss: a permanent and vague sense of grief and homesickness that cannot be easily detected when a migrant is “naturalized.” An ambiguous loss is one that is partial, incomplete, disrupted, and extremely difficult to heal. Social rituals often help families remain connected and collected. However, migration disrupts these rituals as well. A map of belonging cannot be drawn unless these subjective elements of healing are recognized and located. This exhibition attempts to draw the geography of belonging in the work of immigrant artists in the metro Detroit area who have experienced the complexities of contemporary migration.

THE FUTURE IS FUN
Annex Gallery hosts a compelling peek into the days to come
DETROIT— The New Year, and a new decade, is just beginning. But according to producer Kathe Koja and her creative colleagues, the future is going to be fun.
“The Future is Fun” is a one-night only immersive event at Annex Gallery at 333 Midland, in Highland Park, featuring music, film projections, spoken word, and movement performances by a host of Detroit-area creatives. According to Koja, an award-winning writer and director whose hands-on events range from a remade Berlin punk club to a Victorian brothel to a weird spin on Alice’s Wonderland, “The Future is Fun” will invite its guests to snack, play, and help create the future.
“So much of life is uncertain—our politics, our economy, even our climate,” says Koja, “but we know that the future will be there for us. Why not see how fun it can be? And yes, there will be cupcakes.”
