Photographs by Eliza Gregory April 3-Oct. 3, 2008 ASU Museum of Anthropology

Summary

Fuse is a portrait exhibit of the complex worlds of resettled refugees in the Phoenix metro area. It fosters critical thinking on who refugees are and how, through sharing experiences, the Phoenix metro community can seek common ground. The photographs validate the struggles and triumphs of these families, portraying them in a way that cultivates a deeper sense of belonging in the community. The exhibition was developed in collaboration with the Arizona State University Museum of Anthropology and local artist Eliza Gregory, a member of the eye lounge artist cooperative on Roosevelt Row.
