The Arts in Foggy Bottom Outdoor Sculpture Biennial features a prominent installation titled 'Homeland/Hostland' that presents a massive rhinoceros in engraved steel, echoing themes of home within a neighborhood of historic houses. Curator Fabiola R. Delgado, along with primarily foreign-born artists, reflects on the complicated nature of 'hostland,' particularly in the face of current immigration challenges. While some works touch on political themes, many are whimsical, encouraging viewers to interact with their surroundings. The outdoor exhibition is complemented by a show at the Watergate Gallery, featuring similar artistic expressions on a smaller scale.
The biennial titled 'Homeland/Hostland' combines large installations like a rhinoceros and smaller works, exploring themes of home and identity in a changing society.
Curator Fabiola R. Delgado and many artists are from abroad, offering a unique perspective on the concepts of belonging and recognition within the community.
Despite current political climates impacting immigrant experiences, many works maintain a sense of whimsy, navigating through themes of identity and performance in everyday life.
This year's exhibition invites visitors to appreciate both the intricate art displayed and the historical charm of Foggy Bottom’s residential streets.
