Celebrate the opening of Timothy Hyunsoo Lee's solo exhibition, in which the artist explores the experience of existing between cultures, never fully here nor there. Drawing from his life as a queer immigrant who arrived in New York City as an undocumented child, Lee examines how gestures of invisibility and hypervisibility function as survival strategies for immigrant communities navigating layered identities within hostile environments.

Directions:

Please enter on Congress St (across from Faneuil Hall), pass security and take the elevators to the 5th floor.

Since 1960, Boston and Strasbourg have been sister cities, connected by shared values of democracy, education, and cultural exchange. Strasbourg, like Boston, is a center of government, economy, culture, education, and medicine. Strasbourg and Boston are known for their majestic churches and beautiful historic landmarks. Both cities place a great emphasis on historic preservation. In this exhibition, photographers from both cities turn their lenses on familiar streets, revealing what makes each location unique while discovering unexpected resonances across the Atlantic.

Join us to see the show, mingle with fellow art-lovers, and enjoy light refreshments at the opening reception of "2 Perspectives." 

Directions:

Please use the entrance located on Congress St, across from Faneuil Hall. Pass security and take the elevators to the 2nd floor. The Mayor's Neighborhood Gallery is located to the left of the elevator bank.
