This fall, the Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University will host free-to-the-public exhibitions inviting a journey across multiple centuries and continents titled “The Otherworld is Home.” Inspired by the Yorùbá proverb, “Life is a journey, the otherworld is home” (ayé l’àjò, ọ̀run n’ilé), the museum-wide presentation explores themes of personal reclamation, cultural identity, spiritual passage, and connection across Africa’s many diasporas.
