The exhibition, curated by Kristina Dziedzic Wright, features paintings by Léa Nasnas Chami, along with contributions from other immigrants in Oslo through art therapy workshops. Nasnas is a Norwegian citizen born in Lebanon with a French education. She is a self-taught visual artist with a special style that she calls "emotional art", and her paintings are characterized by vibrant, bluish or metallic colors. She often paints expressionist abstract paintings while working as a school assistant and as an independent bio-decoding and art therapy coach.
How did we get here? is part of the action research project CARES (Curating in the Anthropocene with Responsive Engagement and Stories) to explore migration, identity and belonging and the ways art can bring people together.
