This first major exhibition drawn from our Corcoran Legacy Collection features strong and provocative photography and sculpture donated by Tony Podesta over the past decade to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, now part of the American University Museum’s holdings. Podesta has earned the reputation of being a fearless supporter of challenging contemporary art by women. He is an important patron of the arts nationally and internationally, with an outsized impact all across the Washington art world.

Border Wall examines the question of citizenship from the point of view of the other—the individual yearning for access to a space they’re told they cannot occupy and are consistently denied. There is no shortage of deterrents, yet the desire and will for change are still there. The symbols, tones, and imagery contained in Border Wall present the talismans for what could be, what life might hold, and most importantly, hope.
