Click the link in our bio to take a virtual tour of "When Home Won't Let You Stay: Migration through Contemporary Art," a new exhibition at @cantorarts. Featured here is a portion of "The American Library," which consists of 6,000 volumes wrapped in Dutch wax-print fabric. Many are embossed with the names of first- and second-generation immigrants or their descendants, or those affected by the Great Migration in the United States, who have made a mark on American culture.
