Contemporary Craft is planning an exhibition focusing on women and girls affected by the global refugee crisis.
“Searching for Home,” a solo exhibition by Seattle-based, Pakistan-born artist Humaira Abid, will open April 9 and run through Aug. 21 in the gallery at 5645 Butler St. in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood.
“This powerful exhibition presents a human-scaled look at the worldwide refugee crisis, focusing on women and girls, who make up a disproportionate percentage of the millions of people who have fled their home countries as a result of political conflict and strife, ethnic cleansing and persecution, domestic abuse, climate change and crimes against humanity,” according to a release.
