ACOMPI and NARS Foundation are pleased to present Transient

Grounds , an exhibition that houses the histories embedded and preserved by immigrant, first-

generation, and borderland artists whose work counters the gradual forces of cultural erosion. Sited

within architectural and emotional fragments of a former home in Governors Island’s Nolan Park, the

works unravel experiences and psychologies of hybridity, double-consciousness, memory, and

belonging. They reclaim identities against the historic and persisting realities of colonialism, militance,

and environmental crises of the Island and the United States at large.
