Binh Danh explores his Vietnamese heritage, landscapes and memory through experimental and vintage photography techniques. Chlorophyll prints of the past and daguerreotypes of the present blur the line between history and the now, examining a transformation of American identity.

Artists Natalia Lassalle-Morillo and Sofía Gallisá Muriente gather testimonies and imaginaries of Puerto Ricans who migrated to Central Florida following 2017’s Hurricane Maria. This immersive, four-channel video installation layers fictional and non-fictional narratives, speculating about how community is created anew. The title, Foreign in a Domestic Sense, comes from the 1901 Supreme Court case in which a justice described the island nation as “unincorporated territory” of the U.S.

Acclaimed poet Nicole Sealey will engage faculty, students and the Auburn community as a poet-in-residence at The Jule.
