“Who is the foreigner?” So asked Toni Morrison at “The Foreigner’s Home,” her 2006 exhibition at the Louvre. Morrison invited artists whose work addressed the experience of migration and displacement to join her in conversation about issues she had long examined in her own writing and teaching. Through extensive archival footage, music, and animation, this film expands that conversation. Neither biography nor traditional documentary, it is instead a provocative and timely meditation on some of humanity’s oldest divisions, exploring Morrison’s artistic and intellectual vision through a series of candid and incisive exchanges about race, identity, “foreignness,” and art’s redemptive power. *Directors Geoff Pingree and Rian Brown Orso will be on hand for audience Q&A
