When we talk about "the American people," who is included? Who belongs here?

When we talk about “the American people,” who is included? Who belongs here?

That’s a pressing topic in the world today. It was also a core question when Charlotte artist MyLoan Dinh spoke on the global topic of “Inclusive” at the April meeting of CreativeMornings/Charlotte. It’s at the heart of an upcoming exhibition at the Elder Gallery May 3-June 15.

MyLoan is one of the artists in *We See Heaven Upside Down, migration 4, an international, multi-disciplinary arts project responding to challenges of migration, displacement, and identity in contemporary society.*

Gathering in the backyard of her home, Charlotte’s famed “Poet’s Cabin,” MyLoan further explored her talk and her work with Matt Olin, Tim Miner, and her husband, Till Schmidt-Rimpler on the CreativeMornings/Charlotte podcast, produced by Andy Goh.

Hearing is good. Seeing is good, too.
