The Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery is delighted to present "The Outsiders from the Other Side," which highlights the exceptional artistic contributions of nine outsider artists from Tijuana, Mexico. This thought-provoking exhibition explores the complex and multifaceted artistic landscape shaped by each artist's unique cross-border experiences. Through diverse artworks, the exhibition challenges conventional notions of national identity and encapsulates the artists' intimate relationship with the border and the inherent duality of their heritage.

By showcasing these compelling works, the exhibition prompts viewers to contemplate the intricate dynamics of cultural fusion and the innate human longing to belong. Furthermore, each piece catalyzes meaningful cultural dialogues, contributing to a profound and interconnected understanding of identity and belonging. This remarkable exhibition invites the audience to explore and appreciate the rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives these extraordinary outsider artists brought forth.
