Displaced: Contemporary Artists Confront the Global Refugee Crisis is currently on view at Santa Fe’s SITE gallery. Eleven internationally acclaimed artists took on the theme of human migration and the refugee plight of the past, present and future.

“For a long time this show didn’t really even have a name; we just knew that we wanted to address the global refugee crisis,” explains the museum director, Irene Hofmann. “And if we think about how that was understood two years ago and how it’s understood now, it’s actually quite different.”

“Displaced” runs March 21 to Sept. 6th at SITE, Santa Fe.
