As one of the top 10 fastest growing states, odds are you know a few transplants, if you’re not one yourself.

“How Do We See Ourselves In Each Other?” is an evening of art + conversation at Asheville Art Museum that explores how long-established generational residents merge with newcomers to shape the future of our community, and our country.

The free event on Friday, May 2, will include:

  • A viewing of “Coatlicue & Las Meninas: The Stanford Edition” by Mexican American artist Pedro Lasch
  • A talk between Asheville Art Museum associate curator Jessica Orzulak and artist Pedro Lasch, who will discuss the work’s larger themes
  • A panel moderated by Stanford Institute for Advancing Just Societies (IAJS) founding faculty co-director Tomás Jiménez

Stick around for a live musical performance by genre-bending artist, Omar Ruiz Lopez and food and drinks from Cecilia’s Kitchen.
