!["There are endless lessons that can be gleaned from this pandemic — and one of the most prominent could be regarding the importance of the ways that we show love to those we cherish.
As beings with an innate desire to connect with others, our ability to do this through acts such as hugging or sharing intimate space has been severely compromised during the past 16 months.
In many instances, this new reality and its restrictions have prompted deeper bonds with family members — whether as a part of your 'bubble' or 'pod' or alternative means such as Zoom family calls.
As a part of 'New at NOMA: Recent Acquisitions in Contemporary Art,' Gabrielle Garcia Steib’s 'The Past is a Foreign Country' illuminates the importance of personal histories and their relationship to our collective experiences.
Through her combination of personal and archival video footage, along with photographs, letters and other immigration-related documents from her relatives, Steib creates a mirror that prompts us all to acknowledge the beauty that exists within our families while re-imagining the ways and spaces in which we can honor these legacies."

In this weekly series, NOMA partners with @nolanews to present a different work each week from the museum’s collection, with commentary from a curator.
